Rangers winger Jordan Jones has responded to Alfredo Morelos’ triumphant Instagram post following Saturday’s hugely significant win over Celtic.
The Gers defeated the Hoops 1-0 at Ibrox to extend their lead at the top of the Premiership table to a massive 19 points.
Celtic were the better side in the first half but Rangers showed signs of improvement at the start of the second period and the game swung into their hands when Nir Bitton was sent off for bringing down Morelos in the 62nd minute.
The hosts then upped the ante and Callum McGregor scored what would prove to be a decisive own goal just eight minutes later.
Morelos led the line for the Gers and was far from his best on the day, as a 14th Old Firm appearance came and went without a goal.
He was fortunate to escape a booking in the early stages after a poor challenge and was substituted in the 77th minute, shortly after picking up a yellow card when things got heated after a cynical foul from Shane Duffy on Ryan Kent.
El Bufalo ended up on the winning side, though, and he took to Instagram after the game to post two images of him locking horns with long-term rival Scott Brown.
The images and caption proved extremely popular with supporters, with the post racking up over 30,000 likes at the time of writing.
Jordan Jones was quick to show his appreciation, commenting “Amazing” after a separate comment that consisted purely of laughing and heart emojis.
Bongani Zungu, who made a late substitute appearance, also responded, writing “relax Buff” with laughing emojis, while Morelos’ Colombia teammate Luis Muriel replied with Buffalo emojis.
Morelos hasn’t contributed as many goals as he would have liked over the first half of the season, but he looks set to play a big part this month, particularly after Steven Gerrard confirmed that a fellow forward has picked up an injury.
