QUOTE OF THE DAY

‘We’ve beaten San Marino, Cyprus and Kazakhstan and suddenly everyone thinks we are world beaters.. It’ll end in tears yet again’

looking in next summer in a tournament we are helping to host.”

The other international tie that caught the attention took place in Harrison rather than at Hampden as Alfredo Morelos’ Colombia beat Ecuador 1-0 in a friendly over in New Jersey.

The Rangers striker’s performances on the international stage always seem to be used in a tit for tat between Old Firm fans.

Morelos broke his international duck against Peru in the previous game but missed a good chance the other night as he gears up to try to end his derby drought this month.

Mick Jamieson, Perth, said: “Yet another sitter missed by Morelos for Colombia. He can’t cut it at the top level as continues to be shown at international level and the fact he can’t score against Celtic.”

Gerard Kelly emailed: “Celtic fans fear Morelos? Don’t make me laugh. He has never shown up against Celtic and is worth around £8million rather than £20m.”

Rab McDonald, Troon, said: “It doesn’t matter whether Morelos is the top scorer in Scotland because it doesn’t guarantee you trophies.

“I’m sure he’ll be in the running for individual accolades but at the end of the day his goals haven’t resulted in any silverware during his time at Ibrox.”

Michael Emonds, Northampton, said: “The fee Rangers eventually get for Morelos will depend on how much money they have in the bank at the time of sale and how much influence his agent has. Celtic held out for the full asking price for Kieran Tierney because he was tied up on a long contract and they have plenty money in the bank so didn’t need to sell.”

Robert McEwan, Mount Vernon, said: “Morelos is a good goalscorer but if he scores a hat-trick in the Betfred Cup Final and Celtic win then I’m happy.”
