One Ibrox fan has taken Morelos Mania way too far.
Since the huffy Colombian banged in a few goals against the bottom clubs in the SPFL an incredible campaign to talk up his ability and value has gone full-on. Comparisons with Moussa Dembele and Odsonne Edouard have been issued regularly from the cheer-leaders.
Baseless stories are planted in favoured newspaper hands talking up future glories such as interest from China, Turkey, Mexico and earlier this week LA Galaxy as a replacement for Zlatan Ibrahimovic. During the summer there were name-checks for AC Milan, Eintract Frankfurt and Borussia Dortmund with moonbeams launched for Newcastle United and West Ham.
Looking at Morelos tonight & is there any difference between him & Augero? Not one

Alas offers are as regular as goals against Celtic for the former HJK Helsinki starlet who has signed three fresh contracts since Pedro Caixinha swooped to take him to Ibrox in the summer of 2017.
More madness is expected next week when Colombia get together for a couple of friendlies with Morelos included. In April he failed to make the 40 man provisional squad named for Copa America which included 11 strikers!
