Watch how Alfredo Morelos avoided two first half red cards against Dundee United

Alfredo Morelos somehow managed to avoid a red card as his temper got the better of him during the 1-1 draw against Dundee United. 

Last season the Colombian international ace was given a retrospective red card in the fixture after referee Steven McLean felt that a forearm smash was only worth a yellow. 

Morelos was given a second retrospective red for a stamp on Ryan Porteous which was missed by Nick Walsh, it is now 26 months since a red card was shown to the former HJK Helsinki starlet. 

The first incident today was in full view of Bobby Madden as Morelos decided to elbow Tony Watt in the chest as he prepared to face a free-kick from James Tavernier. After drawing attention to the incident Watt and Morelos were both given a quiet word by the forgiving referee from East Kilbride. 

Soon afterwards the Ibrox star ran at Ross Graham with his elbow out, Madden spotted that incident and decided that it was worth a booking. 

During 2021 no Ibrox stars were sent off by Scottish referees, in Europe Kemar Roofe, Leon Balogun, John Lundstram and Glen Kamara were all sent off.
