Alfredo Morelos has looked close to his best in recent weeks, his link up play outside the box has been as good as it’s been since he joined the club but the goals haven’t quite been there.
That all came to an end in emphatic style against Aberdeen though with the Colombian international proving in emphatic fashion that he has well and truly found his shooting boots again with a sensational double and man of the match display.

Encouragingly, and perhaps under the radar, it was Ryan Kent that provided the assist for both his goals and he also looked a threat throughout as Rangers eventually ran out 2-1 winners in a game that should’ve been more comfortable than it was.
Is Morelos back?
Yes
Not yet
Gers fans were delighted to see their star man return to scoring form with a bang, especially with Kemar Roofe out for the next couple of games, and took to Twitter to show their support for El Bufalo:

Prime Morelos, tears in my eyes

The fact that we have managed to get 22 points in front with Morelos being far from his clinical best only augurs well for the fixtures ahead, now that he has found his shooting boots we could be in for a fun second half of the season.
