Plenty of Rangers fans were massively disappointed by the performance of striker Kyle Lafferty on Saturday, after he failed to impress during a 3-0 Scottish Premiership win at home to Livingston.
It was a massive opportunity for Lafferty to stake a claim for a regular starting place in Steven Gerrard’s squad, but missed chances and lacklustre forward play left many longing for Alfredo Morelos.
The Colombian eventually took to the field just after the hour mark and left no-one in any doubt about who the best striker at the club is, clearly outperforming Lafferty and pushing the Gers towards the three points.
The Northern Ireland international made the switch from Hearts in the summer has impressed on a few occasions, but he’s failed to really hit his stride and many are now looking for more from the 31-year-old.
Can he improve in the coming weeks?
These supporters took to Twitter this weekend to share their thoughts on his display…
Morelos has done more in 5 minutes than Lafferty did for 60. Big chance for Lafferty today and he didn’t take it, not in the same league as Alfredo right now.

One big disappointment for me today was lafferty, expecting a lot more from him considering his desperation for the move, ironically Morelos is head and shoulders above the 7ft flute atm.

Kyle Lafferty is not good enough to play for Rangers.

Can we send Kyle Lafferty back on loan to Hearts?
Not impressed with him again just like the last time he was here.

Lafferty is bang average imo got slated when said shouldn’t sign him in summer need another striker in January incase Morelos gets an injury but Morelos is top class ????????

Today’s proved Morelos is better than lafferty and Morelos is a key part of our team he made an impact the second he was on the pitch

Completely spot on!
Lafferty should be 3rd choice once we pick up another forward.
Morelos comes on and bags 1 and assists another in 28 mins.
Different class! https://t.co/rNBUSXuUs1— Tel-Aviv True Blues RSC ???????????????? (@telavivrangers) November 24, 2018
Going from Kyle Lafferty to Alredo Morelos is like going from Anne Hegerty to Holly Willoughby #ImACeleb
