The Alfredo Morelos soap opera steps back into the spotlight tonight against Hamilton Accies with Steven ‘All In’ Gerrard playing a supporting role.
Between getting a yellow card at home to Braga and the SPFL draw with St Johnstone the goal ace was given compassionate leave to visit his mum in Colombia. After being given time off Morelos decided to add another 24 hours to the break- forcing Gerrard to show his management skills.
When he announced his side to face Hearts Morelos was posted missing, when the Scottish Cup draw was made on Sunday Gerrard’s club was also missing with Hearts facing Hibs in an all-Edinburgh semi-final.

After losing at Tynecastle Gerrard questioned his own role at the club but after 48 hours weighing up his future he realised that the only options he had were stuck in television studios.
Tonight Gerrard has to place his faith in the players that he disowned four days ago, yesterday’s press conference was full of gloss and spin, the substance will be on display over the coming couple of weeks.
The rumours from Dubai, given oxygen by Hugh Burns, paint a picture of a club utterly demoralised- with the egos of Gerrard and Morelos centre stage more tantrums and drama is assured.
