Celtic will host bitter rivals Rangers in the Old Firm on Sunday.
Stuart McCall has expressed his ‘frustration’ at Rangers ace Alfredo Morelos for getting involved in ‘ridiculous’ things this season.
The 22-year-old will take to the field for the Gers on Sunday when they travel to Parkhead to take on their bitter rivals Celtic.
Morelos is yet to score against the Bhoys and after Steven Gerrard guided his team to an Old Firm win during the reverse fixture, he will be hoping for more of the same away from home.
Speaking to SPFL Matters on Sky Sports Football (30/03/2019 at 10:25 am), McCall spoke about Morelos, his record against Celtic and potentially shutting his critics up.
“In one respect, delighted Rangers managed to keep him and he scores all these goals,” McCall told SPFL Matters. “But frustrating that…sometimes you get involved in things, for me, are just ridiculous.
“From Rangers’ point of view, he is key. There is no doubt about that. Celtic have got a lot of key components to their side. But for Rangers, they need Morelos firing. He has been there before. Missed some good chances in big games. So, for him, can he go there and really shut a lot of his critics up?”
Over the course of the season, Morelos has seen red on four occasions, which has proven to be costly for his team.
Even then, when he has been on the field of play, he has produced the goods and been a constant threat to the opposition.
Throughout this Scottish Premiership campaign, he has played 26 league games, scoring 17 goals and supplying his teammates with eight assists [transfermarkt].
Morelos will arguably be preparing for his most hostile game of the season because Celtic will more than likely target Rangers’ best player when they travel to Parkhead on Sunday.
