Alfredo Morelos of Ibrox side Glasgow Rangers could be in trouble again.

Tam McManus has slated former Rangers man Kirk Broadfoot on Twitter for his altercation with Alfredo Morelos at Ibrox on Saturday.

The Kilmarnock ace appeared to stand on the Rangers striker’s achilles as they left the field following the half-time whistle.

Morelos reacted and now faces a worrisome 24-hour period to discover whether he’ll be banned for the Old Firm clash with Celtic after the international break.

Some have criticised the Colombian marksman for rising to the bait, but McManus says that Broadfoot was ‘bang out of order’.

It would be harsh if Morelos – who has had four red cards this season – was retrospectively banned, but then again, he really must curb this fiery streak.

The more he reacts to the tactics that Broadfoot employed, the more defenders are going to target him in an effort to exploit the weakness.

And it won’t stop simply by leaving the Scottish Premiership, which could happen this summer by all accounts. No matter where he goes, opposition defenders will look to antaognise him. The only thing he can control is his own reaction.
