Did Alfredo Morelos deliberately sabotage Rangers?

(Article written marginally in advance of today’s shock breaking news)

Am I the only one, but am I wrong in thinking Morelos wanted to get sent off on Saturday?

I’ve been thinking about whether to write this article, but after reading Tavernier’s rant about how stupid Morelos was, I think we might be missing something.

Did Morelos deliberately sabotage our team?

To get everyone up to speed, one thing professional athletes do is practice.

They practice every single move, until it becomes second nature.

They know exactly where to place their legs, to get the best balance and they especially know where their arms are, because penalties cost goals.

So, what does this have to do with Morelos wanting to get sent off?

Well, Morelos knows that throwing his arms around at the height of his fingers might take out an eye, or his elbow could take out a tooth, was going to get him a red card.

That is a 100% certainty when your name is Alfredo Morelos, and you decide to do it TWICE right in front of the referee.

And the video suggests he absolutely100% knew what he was doing, especially (and to repeat the point) he tried twice tried to smack the Hibs player. Oh yeah, this was a 100% straight red card. Any referee would have sent him off.

But the most damning point is Morelos knew we were already down to 10 men, and this specific referee was not his friend.

And, no, he wasn’t out of control. He actually smiled when he got the card. Yes, he smiled.

Morelos has a natural knack for knocking the ball over the line, but what do you think?

if Morelos has decided that he no longer cares (because that is what it looks like), should we just get rid of him and bring in a new striker before the summer transfer deadline closes on September 1st.

Or do we keep him, with the knowledge he just might (again) try to sabotage the team?

I for one have now had enough.

We have given him more than enough chances….

Let us know, because this one decision could either win us, or cost us the league.

Thank Morelos, you really helped us concentrate on a very important match tomorrow (!)
