Leanne Crichton stunned by Alfredo Morelos for Rangers v Red Star Belgrade
Rangers got off to a flying start in their Europa League showdown against Red Star Belgrade, racing into a two-goal lead in the 3-0 win.
James Tavernier smashed home the opener from the penalty spot, with Alfredo Morelos getting the second minutes later.
Leanne Crichton was wowed by the Bufalo as he got his name on the scoresheet with a “wonderful” finish across the goalkeeper.
Speaking live during BBC Sport coverage of the game at Ibrox, Crichton was blown away by the second goal.
“It’s a well-worked corner from Rangers,” she said.
“Red Star Belgrade are marking zonally. It’s far too easy for Rangers to have free bodies in the box, but it’s still a wonderful finish from Morelos.”
Wonderful.
Wow, the Bufalo is perfect.
These are the nights that are going to persuade him to remain at Ibrox when those big clubs, no doubt come calling in the summer.
It has been the same every single season, but his form under Giovanni van Bronckhorst will no doubt see that intensify yet again.
Working close with Roy Makaay must also be one of the secrets behind this form because we’re not certain we’ve ever seen Morelos so alive at Ibrox.
The Colombian is in unbelievable form, and his finish on the half volley across the keeper in a crowded box last night was proof of that.
Morelos and Europa just go hand in hand, and with him leading the line, who knows just how far we could go? The quarter-finals are already calling the mighty Bears – let’s get the job done.
