Excellent season is living Rangers, both locally and in their participation in international competition. The team led by Steven Gerrard has not lost a game this season, is leading the Scottish League with 47 points, 13 over Celtic, and advanced early to the 16th finals of the Europa League, a phase in which they will face Antwerp of Belgium in February.

Despite the good moment of the team, It is not the best campaign of Alfredo Morelos, which is far from his best records in the Scottish club, despite the fact that he has the backing of the coach, who has kept him in the starting 11 several games, although He hasn’t scored since the first week of November in a 3-3 draw against Benfica.

Now, the Colombian is waiting for the decision of the local tournament organization, which could sanction him for controversial action in a 1-2 win over Dundee United last weekend. It was the 12th minute of the first half when Mark Connolly fell after a blow from Morelos with his arm across his face.

Although the judge determined that the action resulted in a yellow card, it is under study by the organization and no later than this Tuesday, December 15, the ruling will be issued if there is an ex officio sanction for the Colombian. “I didn’t see an elbow. If you look at it again, there is no elbow there. The referee saw it and fixed it. It was a foul and a yellow card and it has already been solved “, expressed Gerrard after the commitment.

This Wednesday, December 16, Rangers will face St. Mirren for the quarterfinals of the Scottish League Cup, while over the weekend they host Motherwell at the Ibrox Stadium for matchday 18 of the local league.
