Former Rangers striker Boyd, now at Kilmarnock, was impressed with the performance of Morelos against Hamilton, and he has also suggested that the Ibrox striker has proved him wrong.

Boyd said about Morelos on Sky Sports Football on Sunday afternoon (3:37pm, October 21, 2018): “I think he huffed and puffed in terms of in front of goal, but he doesn’t go away. His link-up play was good today, his work-rate can’t be faulted.
