On Sunday Alfredo Morelos was booked against Hearts, according to BT Sport and repeated parrot fashion by others it was his first booking of the season.

In the SPFL that is true but since goals scored against the mighty St Joseph’s of Gibraltar get counted so to do yellow cards in UEFA competitions.

El Buffalo as he is lovingly referred to has picked up four bookings in European matches this season, away to Midtjylland and Wisla Krakow in the qualifiers and in the group matches against Feyenoord and Young Boys of Bern.

After nine appearances in the SPFL he has picked up one yellow card, 11% of games.

In 10 matches refereed by UEFA officials he has been booked four times, a yellow card in 40% of the matches he has played in.

On Sunday Andrew Dallas will referee the visit of Motherwell to Ibrox, on Wednesday Bobby Madden will be in charge for the match away to Ross County.
