Rangers fans have gone wild for a picture of Alfredo Morelos shared by the Gers’ official social media accounts on Friday afternoon.

Many of the current members of the first-team squad are extremely popular with the fan base.

Bears love James Tavernier and Connor Goldson for leading the Light Blues to 55, Ryan Kent his for remarkable pace and trickery and Allan McGregor for his ability, passion and wit, while many still can’t believe Glen Kamara only cost £50k.

However, although he’s tested the patience of fans at times and has only recently started to give interviews in English, Alfredo Morelos is probably the most popular of the lot.

He’s delivered on so many occasions in front of goal since his arrival from HJK Helsinki in 2017 and there’s an extremely strong bond with the fiery Colombian marksman.

Supporters couldn’t wait for him to get his hands on the Premiership trophy and they have been baying for more El Bufalo content all week.

The club’s media team delivered in style to that end on Friday afternoon, with a picture of the man himself at what appears to be the Rangers Training Centre in a suit, club tie and shades, with both hands held up and spread wide as is now customary.

Unsurprisingly, fans went wild for the image.

At the time of writing, it had racked up over 38k likes on Instagram and over 9k on Twitter, with hundreds of comments streaming in on each platform.

Here’s a selection of reactions from Twitter:
