Alfredo Morelos eviscerated as Rangers striker branded an 'absolute joke' in scathing attack

Michael Stewart branded Alfredo Morelos an "absolute joke" and was backed up by Neil McCann as the pundit pair launched an attack on the Colombian striker after Rangers were held to a 1-1 draw by St Mirren which piles even more pressure on under-fire Light Blues boss Giovanni van Bronckhorst.

Jonah Ayunga opened the scoring two minutes into the second half before Ryan Kent went down in the box during the final 10 minutes and after initially being penalised for diving, the match referee went to the monitor and awarded the Light Blues a penalty. James Tavernier stepped up and coolly slotted the ball into the net to equalise. But despite a lengthy period of stoppage time, the Ibrox side couldn't find a winner. The result now puts Rangers’ Scottish Premiership title hopes on a thread with Celtic having the opportunity to extend the gap to nine points if they defeat Ross County this afternoon.

Stewart reckons the Ibrox boss is now on borrowed time to save his job and that it's clear the players aren't performing for him. He told BBC Sportsound: "If it wasn't for that penalty kick, they were never getting back in the game and to be honest I wouldn't be surprised if there was a change made at Rangers before the season starts again. You can talk about injured players coming back and all that but I think there's a bigger question mark about 'where's the character?', 'where's the leaders?', 'where's the fight?'.
