Derek Johnstone has slammed Kirk Broadfoot and offered support for Alfredo Morelos, in his Evening Times column.
Last weekend, there was a controversy during Rangers’ draw against Kilmarnock.
The result was a poor one, but the main talking point surrounded an incident at half-time.
Former Rangers defender Broadfoot, intentionally trod on El Buffalo, after the striker had turned to head for the tunnel.
The incident wasn’t picked up by the referee, but the footage was reviewed by the SFA. Yet, no disciplinary action was taken.
“What Kirk Broadfoot did to Alfredo Morelos last week in the game between Rangers and Kilmarnock, was the lowest of the low”, wrote Johnstone, in
the Evening Times.
“I have seen a lot of cowardly things on a football field, but that is right up there with the worst of them. To do that when a man’s back to you is ridiculous.”

“I thought to myself at the time that if the cameras have caught that, then Broadfoot is going to get hammered. But what do you know? The footage goes to the Three Stooges on the Tribunal Panel and they rule there was nothing wrong with it!”
He then went on to argue that anyone would have reacted the way Morelos did. Furthermore, he praised the 22-year-old for earning a ‘fairy tale’ Colombia call up.
His comments sit in stark contrast to those of other ex-players. Lee McCulloch, for example, when also writing for the Evening Times, bizarrely argued there was ‘nothing much in it.’
Finally, though, someone is standing up for Alfredo.
