“Stupid”: BBC pundit criticizes Rangers players and reacts to Steven Gerrard comments

BBC pundit Tam McManus has criticised Rangers striker Alfredo Morelos on Twitter and has praised Steven Gerrard for his post-match comments. Morelos scored Rangers’ second in the 2-0 victory over Motherwell and was the target of abuse from the stands. When the Colombian scored his goal, he aimed an offensive gesture at the fans during his celebration. Referee Don Robertson showed a yellow card, which was second for him and Morelos was sent off. Gerrard reacted to the sending off after the game and although he had no issue with the decision, he felt the referee was ‘desperate’ to send off a player during the game. “It’s the first setback Alfredo’s had after huge, huge improvements so we’ll reset that but we certainly have no complaints,” Gerrard said. “Unfortunately, the supporters and his team-mates will suffer because he’s not available for the next game. “There had been a bit of a commotion at half-time between both sets of players, although there wasn’t much in it. However, when I saw the referee book Ryan Jack and Declan Gallagher before the start of the second half [for their part in it], I thought that he was waiting for a moment. As I said, we have no complaints about the red card but I felt he was desperate to give out a red card today. “I had that feeling from the side, which is unfortunate because our player does get that type of abuse. Alfredo was unplayable. It is a setback today, he knows that, we know that. I’m sure he hates getting punished in the pocket so hopefully, he will get back on the horse and continue to improve in that area.” McManus criticised Morelos but praised Gerrard.
