‘Gerrard must be fuming’ – Many Rangers fans were not happy with one key player vs Celtic
Rangers have suffered their first defeat of the Steven Gerrard era after losing 1-0 to Celtic at Celtic Park on Sunday afternoon.
Sadly, in many ways, it was a performance that has become typical of recent derbies against Brendan Rodgers’ side, with the Gers again somehow caught in the headlights and not up for the fight.
It was only due to the heroics of Allan McGregor that the scoreline wasn’t larger.
One players fans are particularly unhappy with is Alfredo Morelos, who struggled to make an impact on the game in any meaningful way and missed a golden chance after bodying defender Dedryck Boyata.
The Colombian, who has just signed a lucrative new deal at the club, looked below the standard he had set in the earlier stages of this season.
These supporters took to Twitter to share their thoughts on his performance…
Morelos isn't a big game player either, would be better coming on as a sub in games like today

If only Morelos had the work rate that Lafferty shows…

The only thing we can take away is that the defence were better than last year. Midfield was a massive disappointment, so poor in possession. Morelos is not the answer.

We still lack up front. As I said as window closed. Lafferty , Morelos and Sadiq (no comment) isn’t enough. And we still lack in midfield. Coulibaly a huge miss for physicality. But I also have perspective. And we are a long way better than we were. We learn and move on.
