Glasgow Rangers striker Alfredo Morelos has endured a difficult time at Ibrox lately, but appears to have turned a corner in the last couple of games.

Alfredo Morelos has taken to Twitter to post a defiant message that certainly appears to be directed at all of the Rangers striker’s critics after a superb couple of performances for the Gers.

Morelos endured a difficult start to pre-season after an underwhelming end to his first campaign with the Scottish Premiership side, and came in for a lot of criticism from the supporters who seemed to fear that the youngster’s lethal streak shortly after his move was the anomaly rather than the somewhat lengthy spells without a goal.

However, the Colombian has reminded the Ibrox faithful of his quality in the last two games, scoring in the first-leg of their Europa League second qualifying tie with Osijek and following it up with a header in the 3-0 pre-season friendly win over Wigan Athletic at the weekend.

It is timely return to form for the 22-year-old. The 1-0 lead heading into the rematch with the Croatian side is obviously a slender one and the Scottish Premiership season kicks off at the weekend, and Gerrard will be desperately hoping that Morelos can help get the Gers off to a flyer at the start of this campaign.

And ahead of the games with Osijek and Aberdeen later this week, Morelos took to social media to make a defiant statement that seemed to suggest that he is not going to allow his critics to be proven right.

The caption attached to the photo roughly translates as, ‘Never let your head drop, never say you can’t, never limit yourself, and never stop believing in yourself.’
