Rangers manager Steven Gerrard has admitted to The Scottish Sun that he may have waited too long to get tough on Ibrox striker Alfredo Morelos.

Morelos has been shown red card five times already this season, and the Colombia international striker’s absence has cost Rangers dear.

True, the Gers would not have been challenging Celtic for the Scottish Premiership title at one stage this season without the goals that the 22-year-old scored, but the youngster has missed important games for Gerrard’s team.

Rangers manager Gerrard has suggested that he may have waited too long before getting tough on Morelos.

Gerrard told The Scottish Sun: “We’ve already started to affect changes to our disciplinary record. Making a stand recently with Alfredo sent a message out.

“And the code of conduct here will be tweaked in the summer. It will be tweaked on and off the pitch.

“It’s up for debate whether I waited too long with Alfredo. But if someone accused me of that, I’d probably have to accept it.”

Disciplinary record

Rangers have had too many yellow cards and red cards, and the Gers need to sort their disciplinary record for next season.

The Gers will not catch bitter Old Firm rivals Celtic at the top of the Scottish Premiership table this season, but with a decent invest in the squad, the Ibrox club could challenge the Hoops during the 2019-20 campaign.
