Barry Ferguson believes that Rangers players are more than likely frustrated with teammate Alfredo Morelos.
The Colombian hitman has been a little out of sorts so far this season.
Morelos scored a late winner in Rangers’ victory over 10-man Hibernian for what was only his second Premiership goal of the season.
Two goals in seven league outings represents a poor return for a player of the 24-year-old’s calibre.
And Ferguson has suggested that some of Steven Gerrard’s squad – and the Gers boss himself – are irked by the South American marksman under-performing.
He told the Go Radio Football Show: “I like him, but I can see why the manager is frustrated and the team-mates are probably frustrated as he is so important to Rangers. The quicker he realises that the quicker he gets back to form and Rangers will start to fire.”
Is he right?
In a word, probably.
Moreleos, a £1 million signing in 2017, is Rangers’ most talented goalscorer by a mile and when he isn’t at it, the team does suffer.
Gerrard’s side didn’t lose a Premiership game last season but this time around they have lost one already – and dropped five points in total.
The Ibrox side are still top of the Scottish Premiership – one point clear of Hearts – but if and when Morelos hits top form, things will get a lot better.
