BBC Sport details Alfredo Morelos incident after what happened in first half of Rangers v Dundee United
Rangers striker Alfredo Morelos was spotted throwing his arms up in frustration early in the first half after failing to hit the target in their Scottish Premiership clash against Dundee United.
Morelos who has been out of the team at the expense of Antonio Colak, started for Michael Beale and the Gers for the first time since mid-February, with his immediate future still uncertain.
And the Colombian hitman who has been criticised previously for his petulance and attitude when things don’t go his way once again exerted his annoyance after missing the target in the 15th minute against Dundee [1 April] at Ibrox.
BBC Sport picked up on the incident on their live reporting of the game [1 April]:
“Alfredo Morelos throws his hands up in frustration after failing to hit the target after James Tavernier planted a looping corner onto the Rangers striker’s head.
“Moments later, Ryan Kent drills a cross-shot a couple of yards wide.
“United holding firm for now.”
Days numbered
Morelos’ exit from Rangers is now looking like an inevitability. The Colombian clearly wants to move onto pastures new and would’ve signed a new deal if he was looking to extend his stay at Ibrox.
As we draw a close to the season, we’re certainly likely to see Morelos exert his frustrations and annoyance on numerous occasions when he doesn’t get what he wants, and that’s something the Gers fans probably won’t want to see any longer as he continually refuses to commit his future to the club.
It would be a crying shame to lose the striker for nothing in the summer. When he was at the height of his value, there’s a chance that Gers could’ve landed a significant fee for the attacker.
Nevertheless, he was signed for a minimal amount and has gone on to provide the club with significant service. However, Beale will certainly not want some of his last memories of the forward in a Rangers shirt again throwing his arms up the air and expressing his anger.
Let’s hope he can reclaim some of that tremendous goalscoring form he’s showed so regularly in his Ibrox career.
In other Rangers news, a controversial Gers ace has been bafflingly held responsible for a “bizarre” episode that surely cost the club millions in the transfer market.
