Charlie Nicholas warns Rangers striker Alfredo Morelos he could get dropped

Rangers bagged a sweet victory against their bitter Old Firm rivals Celtic on Sunday at Parkhead, winning 2-1 to secure a first away win in nine years and cut the gap at the top of the Scottish Premiership to two points, with a game in hand.

The win came at a cost, though, as Alfredo Morelos was shown his marching orders after picking up two yellow cards, and he is now set to miss the Light Blues’ first three games of the year.

Manager Steven Gerrard now has to rely on Jermain Defoe in the Colombian’s absence, and Sky Sports pundit Charlie Nicholas reckons his indiscipline could cost him a place in the starting line-up going forward.
