On Friday night joy was unconfined as Alfredo Morelos added 12 months onto his Sevco contract.
It seems that a sizeable number of fans had bought into the mystery bid from a mystery club in China. Lessons hadn’t been learned from the way that they had accepted the good intentions of Craig Whyte and Charles Green.
With cash tight and no interest in any of their players someone inside Ibrox decided that their Columbian striker was in huge demand.
After last year’s attempt to pass off Barrie McKay as a £6m target for RB Leipzig more thought went into the 2018 moonbeam.
Rather than have a young striker showing some promise Sevco created a monster that has left Morelos bamboozled and picking up more wages than he was on during a run of ten games without scoring!
Yesterday the myth hit the fan. His miss against Celtic proved too much with Sevco fans racing online to slaughter their £22m striker.
I want a public apology from Alfredo Morelos

Alfredo Morelos has been honking. Should have had a brace. If Jason Cummings had the same chances as he’s missed Rangers probably would have won.

“That miss” was Alfredo Morelos’ 18th shot from within 6 yard box (13 headed, 5 kicked). He has converted on only 22% of them (4 goals).
Next most is Steven MacLean (8), Dembele (7) & Scott Sinclair (7) with each.

Three things to say:
1) Sean Goss is an embarrassment
2) Alfredo Morelos is a bottlejob
3) Scott Brown eats Lego— davie (@coltond72) March 11, 2018
Weekend ruined by a waterlogged pitch and a donkey called Alfredo Morelos. That’s a new one even for me tbf

Graeme Murty has to decide whether he can play Morelos against Kilmarnock on Saturday, does he anger the fans or expose the £22m myth?
