Alfredo Morelos could break 10-year Rangers record against Celtic

Alfredo Morelos was already an established hero of the Rangers supporters.
Therefore, the well-received ‘Soy Alfredo’ documentary released on Thursday only further confirmed his fan favourite status.

He may be impetuous and unpredictable at times, but his contributions in the final third this season cannot be questioned.
El Bufalo has 17 goals and four assists in the SPL so far. That’s a goal every 121 minutes in the league.
However, he’s contributed in all other competitions too. He scored four against Killie in the Scottish Cup, a hattrick against the same opposition in the League Cup and several important Europa League goals.

Overall, he has 29 strikes to date.

That means he’s on the verge of breaking a 10-year record and could do it against Celtic on Sunday.

One more from Morelos would ensure he joins an illustrious club and any more than that will see him go level with or even surpass Boyd’s tally.
He’s still yet to get off the mark against Celtic. However, the Colombian is nailed on to start and he will be raring to go at Parkhead.
Personal milestones and a place in Rangers history await if he can deliver on the day.
