BBC Sportsound pundit notices Morelos try to fight someone in crowd in Rangers v Hearts
Alfredo Morelos was so fired up by his first goal for Rangers against Hearts that he wanted to fight someone in the crowd, according to Kenny Miller.
Morelos, 25, returned from international duty with a bang on Sunday as he opened the scoring at Ibrox in Rangers’ 5-0 win over Hearts.
It was the Colombian’s fifth Scottish Premiership goal since Giovanni van Bronckhorst took charge at Ibrox, adding a second in the second half with a superb curling effort.
After his first goal, it was clear to see how pumped up for the game against Hearts he was based on what Miller noticed after his first-half strike.
“I think he was wanting to fight somebody in the crowd, to be honest with you,” said Miller on BBC Sportsound at half-time on Sunday [6 February, 04:49pm].
“I don’t know if it was a Hearts fan giving him a bit of stick or something but he definitely looked like the usual Alfredo.
“You can see in his celebration he loves scoring goals, it’s what he does best so I’m sure he’s been hungry to come back.”

Morelos is a brute force of a striker who will do anything to score a goal and will run over absolutely everyone in his way to getting one.
It was great to see him back and hungry to impress against Hearts.
He must’ve been hurting after sitting on international duty with Colombia, failing to get any minutes in their World Cup qualifiers and watching the Gers play badly in his absence.
Morelos missed the laboured 1-0 win over Livingston, the 3-3 draw with Ross County and the gut-wrenching 3-0 loss at Celtic while he was with Colombia in South America.
Morelos doesn’t just offer goalscoring ability, he also drops deep at the right moments and links up very well with his fellow attackers.
We saw Joe Aribo and Ryan Kent play much better with Morelos in the side as they were able to link up with him.
