Morelos off for Gers

-

ALFREDO MORELOS saw red against Aberdeen for the third time this season but not before firing a double which helped Rangers to a drama-filled 4-2 win at Pittodrie.

The talented Colombian extended his tally for the season to 23 goals with two clinical finishes.

But having been sent off on both previous league encounters with Derek McInnes’ Dons, he let his temper get the better of him again after getting embroiled in a spat with Scott McKenna that saw both men dismissed just after half-time.

Morelos’ earlier indiscreti­ons had proved costly but this time captain James Tavernier tucked home the Gers’ fifth penalty award in two games before a Jermain Defoe strike in stoppage time sealed a precious win.
