Ibrox side Glasgow Rangers are due to take on Celtic, as Steven Gerrard looks to protect his unbeaten record.
Some Glasgow Rangers fans have disagreed with Steven Gerrard’s comments on Alfredo Morelos.
Morelos was sent off for the second time this season against FC Ufa in the Europa League last night, but Gerrard has suggested he will stick by the Rangers striker.
Gerrard wants to play Morelos up front in the Old-Firm derby, and confirmed to the Scottish Sun that he would be playing the Colombian up-front.
He said: “I’ll have no problem trusting him there at all. I trust the player. I love the player. You’ll see pretty soon how much I think of him.”
Some Rangers fans have some concerns about Morelos playing, though, and have called for Gerrard to change his mind.
Morelos has always played on the edge, and there are fears that his indiscipline could prove costly.
As a result there is a growing section of Rangers fans who want Kyle Lafferty to start in the contest.
No Rangers manager has been able to beat Brendan Rodgers during his time at Celtic so far, but this may well be the Ibrox side’s best chance of picking up the three points against their Glasgow rivals in some time.
