Wherever you sit on Alfredo Morelos, there’s no doubt that he’s a character.

That’s something the Rangers fans have come to expect across the one and a half seasons he has been at Ibrox.
With 23 goals in all competitions this campaign, he has established himself as the best striker in the country.
In fact, he actually has
more goals this season than some of the world’s biggest players.
Yet, his combustible nature has led to more disciplinary problems than ever before.
Receiving three red cards against Aberdeen, for example, is both ridiculous and unacceptable.
However, the fans still love him.

Once again, he has a chance to make amends on return from suspension.
This time, in a massive Scottish Cup tie against Kilmarnock.
Rangers looked toothless without the 22-year-old up top at Rugby Park and it was a similar story against St Johnstone in the league, on Saturday. 

His return is sure to boost morale within the ranks though, and video footage has emerged on Twitter of Morelos getting one over on his skipper.

In a one-touch training game, he savagely nutmegs James Tavernier.
When the drill breaks down, Morelos shouts “Hey Tav” before turning and sarcastically applauding. He throws in a knowing look at the camera for good measure.

The master of all wind up merchants.
Unsurprisingly, Bears lapped up the footage.
