Scott McKenna faces Ibrox side Glasgow Rangers this week.
Scott McKenna has told The Scottish Sun that every game is a tough one against Rangers hitman Alfredo Morelos.
Rangers host Aberdeen in a Scottish Cup quarter-final replay at Ibrox this week.
That means the Dons centre-back will renew hostilities with his bitter rival Morelos, who was sent off for a challenge on McKenna in a Premiership game last month.
Sparks fly when the Aberdeen stalwart is up against the Colombian marksman, who has 26 goals in all competitions this season.
But on a football level, the Scot, valued at £10 million [The Record], admits that he’s set for a difficult evening up against him.
He told The Scottish Sun: “Every game you play against him is going to be tough, but you look forward to that as a player.”
McKenna won the individual battle in the 1-1 original tie at Pittodrie earlier this month, with Joe Worrall scoring the Gers’ goal that day.
But Morelos at Ibrox is a different proposition altogether and the South American will be desperate to one-up the big man.
If you could accuse Morelos of anything, it’s not scoring in really big games.
The 22-year-old has never found the net against Celtic in an Old Firm meeting, but firing Rangers into the semi-final of the Scottish Cup would certainly compensate for his lack of goals against the old enemy.
