International duty with Colombia meant that Rangers star Alfredo Morelos’ appearance against Hamilton was limited to about 10 minutes, much to the disappointment of the club’s fans.
Yet it didn’t stop the feisty Colombian leaving some sort of imprint in the game, as he always does.
The ferocious striker came on to set up Ryan Kent’s second goal to make it 3-1, but it was an earlier infringement which isn’t sitting right with Rangers fans.
Trying to get the turn on the Hamilton midfielder Mikel Miller as Rangers looked to counter-attack, Morelos was held back by the Accies player.
But far from Miller be reprimanded, Morelos was actually booked for the incident where he was adjudged to have lashed out at the Hamilton player.
Referee Steven McLean couldn’t get his card out quick enough and flashed Morelos’ second league booking of the campaign.
But some Rangers fans fully believe that the striker has been harshly done by and that Morelos’ reputation from last season has gone against him.

The fact that Morelos has only picked up two bookings in the Scottish Premiership this season is in stark contrast to the last campaign.
By the end of last season, Morelos had racked up 13 yellows and four reds in the league.
The striker deserves credit for turning a corner on the field, but was his petulant reaction to Miller a momentary lapse or has it been blown up by the referee?
