Rangers have a striker hero as Anthony Stewart is the Aberdeen villain

IT wasn’t Alfredo Morelos or Antonio Colak that was Rangers’ most effective striker at Hampden. The hero was the man that Anthony Stewart didn’t consider as the Aberdeen captain became the villain.

Stewart caused something of a stooshie this week after claiming that Colak was a ‘better striker’ than Morelos. Asked a straightforward question at an event with captains of all four semi-finalists to promote these matches, the Englishman provided an honest answer and was rebuked in public and private.

He will have more explaining to do now. His actions spoke louder than his words as he was complicit in Aberdeen’s defeat and the bus journey home will have provided plenty of time for reflection for Stewart after his red card undermined his side.
