Alfredo Morelos had that devilish glint in his eye again at Tynecastle on Wednesday night. In a big game, for the first time in ages, he was back on centre stage for Rangers. Winding up Hearts fans on their own patch - while lapping up the adulation from an adoring away support.
And you know what? Having played alongside Alfredo at Ibrox, I know that’s what he needs. He needs that hero-worship. He needs to be idolised. He needs to feel wanted and loved by the manager and supporters. And he needs to be THE main man up front for Rangers.
He’s been at Ibrox for five years and he’s had it all his own way in that time. But at the start of this season, he didn’t. Having that spell out injured was something new for Alfredo. Before that, he’d always been the top boy for Rangers. Whenever a big game came along he’d be playing up top. He’s been the guy all the managers have picked.
