Former Celtic star Kris Commons has criticised Rangers star Alfredo Morelos in The Daily Mail for missing too many chances.

The former Celtic attacking midfielder has suggested that for Rangers to win the Scottish Premiership title or challenge for the championship, Graeme Murty’s side need to have a striker who takes the chances he gets to score goals.

The 34-year-old wrote in The Daily Mail: “To be champions or contend at the top of the league, win cups, you need a striker who will score eight out of ten chances. It seems to me that Morelos is missing six or seven out of every ten he’s getting.”

Need to take chances

Morelos is a very good striker and is one of the best young players in the Scottish Premiership.

The 21-year-old Colombian has scored 13 goals and provided five assists in 29 Scottish Premiership appearances for Rangers so far this season, according to Transfermarkt.co.uk.

The youngster has come under recent criticism for his late miss against Celtic at Ibrox in the Old Firm derby earlier this month.

Morelos, who joined Rangers from HJK Helsinki in the summer of 2017 for a transfer fee reported by Sky Sports to be worth £1.5 million, should have scored from that chance and guided the Gers to a point in the Scottish Premiership game.
