‘Bring him home’ ‘Unbelievable he must be devastated’ Ibrox fury as Morelos is snubbed
Derek Clark led the chorus of anger as Alfredo Morelos failed to make the bench for Colombia’s World Cup qualifier at home to Peru. Twelve substitutes were listed!
While the star striker was watching his nation lose 1-0 at home to an 85th minute goal his club team-mates were in an Inverness hotel preparing for today’s match away to Ross County.
Morelos is the top scorer at Ibrox this season but for two more vital SPFL Premiership matches he’ll be out of action as Giovanni van Bronckhorst tries to keep his side clear at the top of the table.
Until the summer Clark was a Hamilton Accies supporter with a strong dislike of Anything, Everything to do with Celtic, workwise he commentated on matches for Bolton Wanderers and covered some minor English games for TalkSPORT.
When Newsquest, owners of The Herald and Evening Times decided to dress themselves up as fan media with the launch of The Rangers Review Clark was selected to lead their cutting-edge digital output.
On Tuesday he’ll be watching Argentina v Colombia, just like Alf.
So Alfredo Morelos jets off to the other side of the planet for Colombia yet isn’t even named in their squad. International football is a farce.

I’d personally bin it throughout the season, play your qualifiers in the summer if you have to, it should not interfere with club football.

If he’s not injured. Gio needs to get on the blower and tell them to send him back. Farce ?

Or maybe he just isn’t good enough to make the bench ?

Remember when you pretended to be neutral when it came Celtic and Rangers?
Some laugh.

Why are Colombia allowed to call up 28 players for 2 fixtures? Ludicrous. There’s no way they need anything like that many.

He’s not good enough for a decent side. A liability when the ref isn’t a mason.
