# Glasgow Rangers: Fans agree with Jordan Campbell’s verdict on Alfredo Morelos’ display against Aberdeen

**Plenty of Glasgow Rangers fans voiced their agreement with journalist Jordan Campbell after he took to Twitter to defend [Alfredo Morelos](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/rangers-fc-transfer-rumours/gers-morelos-lille-transfer-yilmaz-david/) following Saturday’s win at Aberdeen.**

The Athletic reporter tweeted (via [@JordanC1107](https://twitter.com/JordanC1107/status/1289565893135970306)) his belief that the Colombian gave a strong performance at Pittodrie and insisted that critics of the 24-year-old had preconceived notions due to the intense transfer speculation [linking him with a £17m move to Lille](https://www.footballinsider247.com/exclusive-rangers-advanced-talks-to-sell-morelos/).

> If you watched Morelos today and came to the conclusion that he didn't put in the effort or didn't have at least a fairly good game, then it seems to me that the conclusion was decided before the evidence was considered.
>
> A bit rusty at times but involved in a lot of the play.

While Morelos’ wait for a Premiership goal extends back to [Boxing Day of last year](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/alfredo-morelos/leistungsdaten/spieler/338962), when he netted against Kilmarnock, he was involved in the match-winning moment on Saturday, [playing the pass into Ryan Kent](https://www.skysports.com/football/aberdeen-vs-rangers/report/425565) for the ex-Liverpool man to score the game’s only goal on 21 minutes.

Campbell’s praise of the Colombian’s effort is well placed given the striker’s match statistics from Pittodrie – he registered four shots (joint-most of any ‘Gers player), played three key passes, won three headers and three tackles, completed three dribbles and drew four fouls (as per [WhoScored](https://www.whoscored.com/Matches/1463138/LiveStatistics/Scotland-Premiership-2020-2021-Aberdeen-Rangers)).

These ‘Gers fans on Twitter sided with the journalist, with one supporter saying that they “totally agree” with the pro-Morelos stance:

> His link up play and ability to create space is heavily underrated by Rangers fans at times imo.

> Totally agree. Sky seemed to have it in for him. He was involved in everything for me. He’ll only get better too. Hatrick on Thursday please [@morelos2106](https://twitter.com/morelos2106?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw) :D🔴⚪️🔵

> 100% thought he linked up well with Kent and Hagi. Didn’t always come off for them but hopefully with more games they will become much more fluid

> Spot on pal. I come on twitter after game and it’s the same old complaints by same fans. Rangers won a tough away game 3 points end off. Win games win leagues simples
