Alfredo Morelos of Ibrox side Glasgow Rangers has struggled over the past week or so.

Rangers’ Alfredo Morelos has been a massive hit in Scotland so far this season, but the same isn’t said for the reception in his homeland.

With 14 goals, the Gers marksman is on course to have a phenomenal year at Ibrox.

Not only that, but Morelos, who was sent off five times last season, looks to have curbed the disciplinary issues that cost him and Rangers quite a lot of bother last term, earning praise in the Scottish media.

That being said, he isn’t being lauded in Colombia just yet.

The South American hitman started his country’s 3-0 demolition by Algeria on Tuesday and struggled to make an impact up front for Carlos Queiroz’s side.

So much so, in fact, that Colombian outlet El Tiempo gave the Rangers man a mere 4/10 rating, writing: “He hasn’t yet responded to the confidence of the coach. He only had one shot, from the edge of the box, in the first half.”

Various other publications, such as AS, also criticised the 23-year-old for his international forays, having also failed to impress in the 0-0 draw with Chile last week.

Morelos could be back in action for Steven Gerrard’s side this week as the Ibrox outfit go to Hearts on Sunday.
