Rangers striker Alfredo Morelos showed his negative attributes as he was senselessly sent off.
Glasgow Rangers boss Steven Gerrard last week compared star striker Alfredo Morelos to his former teammate Luis Suarez.
Both strikers score goals regularly, but live on the edge, playing with a streak which regularly winds up opponents.
Morelos’ problem is he struggles to curb this part of his game.
Sadly for Gerrard, his comparison is closer than he would like, at the wrong end of the goals vs ill discipline scale.
Last night he was sent off against Aberdeen, picking up two needless bookings.
This was his third red card of the season, and it cost them.
Rangers lost 1-0, a depressing result in front of their home fans at Ibrox.
The Gers were a goal down when Morelos was sent off and he left his team with a mountain to climb.
In other instances where Morelos has been sent off, Rangers have got away with it. Not last night.
He is showing himself up as a liability, which is so frustrating because he is their best attacker when he is on his game.
If Morelos cannot improve his discipline, then Rangers will have to concentrate their efforts on signing a better striker, who can control himself.
