Former Rangers manager Mark Warburton has told The Scottish Sun how Ibrox striker Alfredo Morelos is similar to former Gers man Joe Garner.

Warburton, who was in charge of Rangers from the summer of 2015 until February 2017, believes that both Morelos and Garner are streetfighters.

Morelos, 22, is one of the best strikers in the Scottish Premiership and a key figure for Steven Gerrard’s team, but the Colombia international has been sent off four times already this season, according to The Scottish Sun.

Garner played for Rangers during the 2016-17 campaign and picked 11 cards during shit time at Ibrox, according to The Scottish Sun.

The 30-year-old joined Rangers from Preston North End in the summer of 2016 for a transfer fee reported by The Scotsman to be worth £1.8 million, and moved to Ipswich Town in the Championship in England in the summer of 2017 after scoring 10 goals in 37 appearances for the Gers, as reported on BBC Sport.

Warburton told The Scottish Sun: “Joe Garner is a streetfighter and Alfredo Morelos is the same. These guys play the game in a certain way, but they score goals.

“Sometimes you need that edge in your team. I look at Morelos and see a really talented centre-forward.”
