Rangers striker Alfredo Morelos hit a double in Ross County – but he wasn’t exactly happy when his number was up in Dingwall and he was subbed before he could hit the third.
The Colombian striker just wants to play and score goals and you could see his frustration when Steven Gerrard called him over to bring on Jermain Defoe.
It’s obvious it was to keep him fresh for the trip to Hearts, but you can’t not love the wee man’s commitment to the cause.

Gerrard and Defoe clearly see the funny side as Alfredo trudges off knowing he may well have got his hattrick up at Ross County.
But, to use the cliché, there are matches Morelos needs to be fresh for and the team is the most important thing.
He certainly looked like he was enjoying himself up in Dingwall and he took both his goals fantastically.
The first was all about his movement to the back post and the work of Sheyi Ojo in the build-up, his second was all Alfredo Morelos. Power, poise and precision.
Whilst he didn’t get his hattrick, Gers fans loved the Colombian’s reaction to being substituted.

The two strikes take Alfredo Morelos to 17 goals for the season already, well on track to beat the 30 that he hit in the last campaign.
With an attitude like that to being subbed, and in the form that he’s in, there’s absolutely no reason why he can’t at least get close.
And I’m talking by January.
