Rangers talismanic forward Alfredo Morelos added a few more pounds to his “£5om” transfer valuation after a sensational double against Feyenoord in the Europa League and in doing so broke Henrik Larsson’s record of 12 goals in a single European campaign when his second hit the net, as reported by The Daily Record.
Morelos is in stunning form with 24 goals in 27 Rangers appearances this season and is showing no signs of slowing down, he continues to be the man for the big occasion and has almost single handedly carried the club to the knockout stages.
Outgoing chairman Dave King, Ross Wilson and Steven Gerrard have all issued hands off warnings this week and despite increased transfer speculation, Rangers are adamant that the Colombian international is going nowhere in January.
Who would you rather have leading the line for Rangers?
Alfredo Morelos
Henrik Larsson
As well as the positive result, Morelos breaking Larsson’s record was a great excuse for Gers fans to take to social media to bait their noisy neighbours, here is some of the best efforts.
SPL all time top goal scorer – Kris Boyd
Most European goals in a season for a Scottish team – Alfredo Morelos
A close 2nd place for Henrik Larsson in both cases.

Why we comparing Larsson to morelos. Larsson wasn’t even as good as Boyd

There’s nothing that sets a Celtic fan off more than saying their beloved Larsson isn’t as good as Morelos or Kris Boyd, Twitter just isn’t for everyone!
