It’s highly unlikely that any of Graeme Murty’s Ibrox stars have been on social media over the last week.
While the protective Ibrox caretaker ‘preaches’ about journeys, progress and development, outside of Murray Park the world of the Sevco fan is much less forgiving.
From the moment Murty decided to broadcast about the dressing room celebrations that greeted the semi-final draw of the Scottish Cup things have gone south- at a fair rate of knots. For some stars in particular.
To say that 2018 has been bamboozling for Alfredo Morelos is an understatement!

With finances dire and a squirrel required the Columbian found himself involved in the most unlikely transfer story imaginable.
Gullible fans, believing the Chinese yarn have turned on their players with Morelos- after is sitter against Celtic- the number one target.
There wasn’t a sniff of interest from English championship clubs who are happy to throw £2m at Daryl Murphy in the hope of getting a dozen goals in return.
Using their highly creative PR operation Morelos became a £7m target for a mystery Chinese side which rose to £11m by the end of February.
It’s unclear who has been left the most confused by the saga, the gullible people or the bewildered striker.
Sevco have bigger problems to worry about over the next couple of weeks but getting the fans and Alfie back on message certainly looks challenging!
