Neil McCann launched a savage character assasination of Alfredo Morelos following today’s 1-1 draw at St Mirren.
It is fair to say that the chunky Colombian has had better days in the famous blue shirt as Giovanni van Bronckhorst’s side shipped more points to go into the World Cup break nine points behind Celtic.
An injury to Antonio Colak forced van Bronckhorst to turn to Morelos but like the rest of his team-mates there appeared to be nothing in the tank with the visitors having no answer to the drive and commitment of their opponents.
The former HJK Helsinki starlet barely featured in the game, dropping deep and wide to get involved, showing the touch of Kenny Miller when on the ball.
Listening to McCann on Radio Scotland, Football Scotland reported the former Dundee manager saying:
Morelos’ attitude has been his main problem, not his ability. His attitude whether that be fitness, his discipline, whether that be his attitude to be properly switched on for opportunities like today, his first start of the season.
And I found it funny you said he was forced to play him. Forced to play the club’s European record goal scorer…forced? You should be desperate to play Alfredo Morelos, he should be the guy up top. He ain’t doing enough! He’s a goal machine. He should automatically be the first pick but his attitude is so poor.
You can see he’s a good guy off the pitch but I would much rather have an absolute horror of a guy off the pitch but a brilliant one on it. I look at the guys out there and I think they should be grabbed and told ‘do you realise that you are playing for Glasgow Rangers?’
An institution of football where winning is everything and see if you don’t, people will tell you it’s not good enough.
There’s been titans of this club who have been sunk and just given criticism, so what right do guys like Morelos think they can go out and try now and again, you empty yourself.
McCann speaks constant staunch-talk and appears to be trying to position himself for a job at the club, either as caretaker or in the man job.
David Martindale is the clear favourite to take over as soon as van Bronckhorst’s pay-off can be agreed.
Who will replace van Bronckhorst at Ibrox?
Wee Davie has the class and dignity for it
Robbie is the man, good European experience
Mister Gerrard- the Prodigal Returns
Give it tae wee Davie Martinjail enabling the BANTER YRS tae continue!! Skinto FC telling the Knuckodraggaz they made a profit when we aw kno the truth! Having said that they’re the World’s Most Successful club.. Aren’t they???
Dont think any of them are good enough, Robbie a hearts man ,doubt he’d want it, Gerrard would be flogging a dead horse and Martindale, just think its too big a step,,
Why the condemnation now Mc Cann ?Extra ,extra ,superlarge ,Alfoodo has looked like the Michelin man since day one ! He did forget to mention that there has never been a more petulant ,thuggish ,spoiled brat ,who has ever played football in Scotland ! Funny how good old Neil missed all of that ?
