Alfredo Morelos message is perfect for Rangers ahead of Celtic showdown
Alfredo Morelos is the perfect antagonist and protagonist in the Old Firm derby.
Loved by everybody in blue, he was equally hated by those in green.
It was delight for Derek McInnes at Ibrox in a 3-0 win last week, but it'll be a different animal completely this time around.
Martin O'Neill is under huge pressure after Celtic lost again on Thursday, this time to Ferencvaros in the Europa League.
Now, a fully-rested Rangers will look to rub salt into the wounds, and Morelos' social media activity comes at a perfect time.
What has Alfredo Morelos said?
Of course, his message isn't directly linked to the Old Firm.
But, plenty of a Rangers persuasion will still follow and interact with the Buffalo, despite him leaving years ago.
Writing on his personal Instagram story, Morelos said: "Never give up, because great things take time."
Rangers can take this message and run.
The first mission of any Old Firm away from home is to ride the early pressure, especially with no travelling support again at Parkhead.
Do that, and nerves will build and Rangers can take advantage of that and really sink in their claws.
If successful, in the space of two weeks, they'll have knocked Celtic out of the first domestic cup and gone two points behind them in the Scottish Premiership.
Perfect.
What was Alfredo Morelos' Old Firm record?
The striker played in the famous fixture a huge 23 times.
In those, Morelos secured eight victories and three draws, unfortunately suffering 12 defeats.
Obviously, his record wasn't great on a personal note - only scoring three goals in those fixtures.
Known for his feisty character, he also saw red twice.
Now, it's over to another South American in Kevin Kelsy to be the difference, with Ryan Naderi carrying a knock from last week.
The Venezuelan scored on his first Old Firm, but should have had more, so will be looking to add to that streak already behind enemy lines.
Currently Atl. Nacional in Colombia, Morelos will be watching on today.
