Apparently Alfredo Morelos has matured over the summer, following five red cards last season and some heart-to-heart discussions with Steven Gerrard the Colombian ace has realised the error of his ways.
That was the script from the cheerleaders, the reality was that he hadn’t been caught.
Three tame SPFL clashes sharing the striking duties with Jermain Defoe was hardly a proper test for the born-again nice guy.
Yesterday Morelos woke up with the expectation of the Ibrox support on his back after the latest moonbeams from Gerrard about turning down bids for the 12th best striker in Colombia.
86th minute, shows you what a sneaky little rat bastard @morelos2106 is, he stands on @Chris6ViF foot then when big Chris reacts, El Rat pleads with the ref to do something, the ref pulls up Chris Julien after the kick,.. 2-0 ya little scowl faced dick #RanCel pic.twitter.com/vKn3ZDbRaG

When he replaced Defoe midway through the second half the game was already slipping away- time for Alfie to revert to type. Deliberately stamping on Christopher Jullien’s foot he stepped away then pushed at the towering Celtic defender.
Last season he seemed to be a protected specie with the SFA, we’ll soon find out if the Compliance Officer has woken up to the error of her ways.
