Rangers striker Alfredo Morelos has been attracting criticism after a poor start to the season.
Rangers got the job done in the Europa League this week, beating Macedonian side FK Shkupi over two legs.
The secret to Rangers’ success was a strong defence, but in attack, striker Alfredo Morelos failed to step up and did not score in either game.
Morelos has attracted criticism from fans for his lethargic efforts, shy of the standard fans at Ibrox hoped for.
Pundits too,are piling in.
Former Hibernian player Tam McManus appeared to relish in Morelos’ struggles.
He had blasted Morelos as ‘bang average’ in April with a comment on Twitter, which several Rangers fans were not happy with.
This week he doubled down on his criticism, saying that he may even unblock Rangers fans who he clashed with on social media and taunt that he was right.
Morelos faces competition for his place from new Rangers signing Umar Sadiq, but he may not be all.
The Colombian’s performances combined with Sadiq only being a young unproven loanee should prompt Steven Gerrard to search for a third option.
