Rangers ace Alfredo Morelos has a terrible record against Celtic.
It’s tough to argue with Alfredo Morelos’ scoring record for Rangers – but there is one big checkmark against him.
Morelos has now scored 20 goals this season in 33 matches for Rangers this season, and 38 for the club in total.
The one problem is, none of them have come against Celtic.
Morelos has had his opportunities, it’s not like there have been strange coincidences where he has been suspended or injured for Old Firm games.
The striker has played against Celtic five times, and failed to score in each of them. He has ended up on the losing side in all five matches.
There is big pressure on Morelos to produce against Celtic this time.
Rangers are at home, and he is in great form with three goals in his last two games.
If he scores, whatever the result, it will be a relief to the Colombian. Score and inspire Rangers to a win, and he will have to be taken seriously.
Celtic fans do not respect Morelos, and that’s to do with his blunt performances against them in the past.
Morelos failing to score will see him criticised from all angles, and the pundits will weigh in. His reputation is on the edge, and it will be another several weeks before he gets another opportunity.
He needs to make sure he delivers.
