Former Rangers player, Neil McCann, has had his say on Alfredo Morelos, as quoted by the Daily Record.
As Gerrard’s men gear up to head to Pittodrie in the Scottish Cup quarter-finals, El Buffalo is once again the centre of attention.
He has already been sent off three times against this opposition this season. Two of those have come away from home, although the first was rescinded.

“He was like a boxer and the same feelings defenders had with him they get with Morelos because they know they have to deal with the physicality.”

“I heard Neil Lennon being asked the other day if he’d calmed or mellowed but I watched him at Tynecastle and it’s still burning.”
“Some people are just built like that. I’d be a hypocrite to say too much because I’m a wee bit fiery as well.”
Interesting comments from the ex-Dundee manager.
There’s no doubt Morelos is as combustible as they come, but it’s vital he reigns it in on Sunday.
Rangers have a Cup semi-final to get to.
