Worthless! Mild mannered Brian Laudrup puts the boot into Morelos

Brian Laudrup is the latest Ibrox legend to stick the boot into the Tribute Act Hampden Flops.

On Monday Craig Moore, Barry Ferguson, Alex Rae and Richard Gough were rolled out to put the boot into Connor Goldson.

It seems that the interview from the former Shrewsbury starlet upset a few of the more traditional figures in the club that went pop in 2012.

Morelos fired another Hampden blank- his first appearance at the stadium since his catalogue of howlers in 2019 against Fraser Forster- but avoided being substituted by stand-in boss Dave McCallum.

After eight transfers windows full of moonbeams it seems like the Colombian ace is resigned to running down his contract in Glasgow before finally making his freedom.

Ibrox Managing Director Stewart Robertson has discussed selling the striker for Dembele Dollars but his value is plunging to a par with Colin Nish.

Picking up on Laudrup’s thoughts in the Daily Mail, The Sun reports the Danish legend saying:

There might be some mitigation for [Ryan] Kent, but I can’t find any for how Alfredo Morelos performed. We used to see him at least running around to put a lot of pressure on the opponent. Not always scoring, but working. On Sunday, he pretty much walked through the game.

For years now, there has been regular talk of where Morelos might go after Rangers, of how much his transfer fee might be. But here’s the thing.

What are you thinking if you are a sporting director at a club in England, France, Spain or Germany and you’re looking at Morelos?

He’s not scoring in Europe, he’s not playing well and he doesn’t look interested. It is not a combination to make anyone reach for their chequebook. If Morelos wants to move, he isn’t going to find an attractive new club unless he gets his form sorted out.

Can Giovanni van Bronckhorst wake up Morelos? Is that even possible at this stage of the season? Yes, a new manager can have an impact but it has to come from within Morelos first of all. It’s been too long now since we saw the striker that was exceptional in the 2019-20 Europa League.

Morelos in under contract until May 2023.
