Alfredo Morelos branded FAT as Rangers striker ridiculed by Italian legend over Napoli nightmare

Italian legend Sebastiano Nela has issued a vicious dig at Rangers striker Alfredo Morelos by insisting he looked three stone overweight when he played Napoli. Rangers crashed to a 3-0 defeat by the Serie A leaders this week as their miserable Champions League campaign continued.

They have lost all five games and conceded 19 goals and scored only once. Morelos started on his own for Rangers at the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona, but cut a frustrated figure and missed an open goal sitter in the second half.

And Nela - who is in the Roma Hall of Fame and played for Italy at the 1986 World Cup Finals and is now a respected TV pundit in his homeland - was far from impressed at Morelos' condition. He compared him extremely unflatteringly to his international countryman, Atalanta and Colombia striker Luis Muriel.
