Alfredo Morelos’ team-mates have voted him out of the squad for the Champions League Play Off against PSV Eindhoven.
The chunky striker has been fat-shamed by Kris Boyd which is pretty low but being binned by the players you share a dressing room with is almost unknown.
Morelos has looked badly out of shape in his substitute appearances this season but tellingly was left on the bench despite Giovanni van Bronckhorst having three options left in the first leg draw with PSV.
Sky Sports reports:
Alfredo Morelos has been left out of Rangers’ squad for their Champions League play-off second-leg against PSV Eindhoven.
Rangers boss Giovanni van Bronckhorst made the decision following various concerns including the strikers’ fitness levels and attitude over the early stages of this season.
Sky Sports News understands Van Bronckhorst consulted various senior players within the squad, who all unanimously backed the decision.
Morelos was sent off 13 minutes after coming on as a substitute at Easter Road on Saturday, however, that incident is not the sole reason behind this move.
With an SFA suspension coming up on Saturday against Ross County it is difficult to find a way back into favour for the former HJK Helsinki starlet.
By leaking the reasons for his omission to Sky Sports it is clear that the Ibrox club are looking to move the striker on but with his contract expiring in May Morelos holds all of the cards.
Antonio Colak is the only recognised striker in the squad, Morelos is the club’s record goalscorer in European competitions.
??”He is very positive about signing a new contract…”

Will Tavernier pinning Morelos to the wall yesterday by the throat and having to be restrained from punching him be a good thing for morale in the Rangers camp before the biggest money making game in their history? pic.twitter.com/sgxoRLlReT

Here is a wee spanner in the works Klopp. The Flop to get his P45 and Gerrard to take his place.
Don’t shoot the messenger.
Hun media gutted , they were all hoping he’d play and score the winner tomo night so they could scream out redemption , sinner to saint headlines etc ..
And you know what , he might’ve because it’s a funny old game
If there has ever been a more narcissistic ,overweight , thug , of a professional footballer who has played the game in Scotland , please let me know! I have racked my brain and I cannot name anyone else other than Morelos ! It’s quite evident the Rangers have been waltzing around land mines to keep this fruitcake happy at all costs.
Gascoigne.
Touché
Most overrated player in history
Shame we won’t get to see his fluffy bunny, blond locks on show-hate to admit it but the bleachy blondy look suits the chunky fkwit..
Proof that you can polish a turd but can throw some bleach on it instead. Still looks like a turd though…
Proff that you can’t polish a turd but can pour bleach on it. Still looks like a turd though…
Sevy g has no chance of being liverpool manager. His jaicket is on the shoogly nail at villa.
He might get last laugh if they go out.
This is a test shite.
EL beefulo was not fit enough to take to the field tomorrow, so not a really a BIG decision for GVB .
The part I found interesting was them stating GVB had run it past the senior members of the team first .
Now would a confident manager do that .
Or is it a made up excuse to mitigate the fall out on GVB if it goes belly up
