# Rangers: Jordan Campbell slams Alfredo Morelos’ performance v Hibs

**The Athletic’s Rangers correspondent Jordan Campbell pulled no punches in his assessment of Alfredo Morelos’ performance against Hibernian on Sunday.**

### The lowdown

Rangers went down 3-1 against the Edinburgh outfit in the Scottish League Cup semi-final at Hampden Park, with Scott Arfield’s goal failing to ignite a comeback after a Martin Boyle hat-trick.

It might have been different had Morelos levelled with a chance shortly after Boyle’s opener, but BBC Scotland’s Nick McPheat described his finish as [tame](https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/59294928).

Campbell is not alone in his sharp criticism of the striker’s display, with [Football Scotland](https://www.footballscotland.co.uk/spfl/scottish-premiership/rangers-player-ratings-alfredo-morelos-22231955)‘s Calum Woodger rating it a mere three out of 10 and dubbing it ‘abysmal’, writing that the 25-year-old ‘disappeared in a big game once again’.

Morelos has scored [seven goals in 21 appearances](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/alfredo-morelos/leistungsdaten/spieler/338962) this season, but has already fired blanks against the likes of Lyon, Celtic and Hearts.

### The latest

Addressing supporters in [The Athletic’s matchday discussion](https://theathletic.co.uk/2962944/2021/11/20/rangers-score-hibs-hibernian-semi-final-league-cup/), Campbell wrote that Morelos had ‘maybe his worst-ever game for Rangers’.

He also appeared to question the Colombian’s attitude, adding that ‘his body language was not good either’.

### The verdict

Considering that Morelos [has now played 203 times](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/alfredo-morelos/leistungsdaten/spieler/338962) for Rangers since he arrived at the club back in 2017, that’s quite some declaration from Campbell.

The Colombian averaged [just shy of a goal every two matches](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/alfredo-morelos/leistungsdaten/spieler/338962) across his Ibrox career, but this season he has slipped to one goal in three games on average.

Questions can reasonably be asked of his commitment given that, in September, [he publicly stated](https://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/sport/football/football-transfer-news/alfredo-morelos-rangers-exit-hope-24896372) that he hoped he would soon be given the opportunity to leave Glasgow. He also knows that [his contract is up at the end of next season](https://theathletic.com/2943618/2021/11/11/why-gerrard-left-rangers-to-join-villa-and-what-next-for-scottish-champions/), potentially putting Rangers under pressure to cash in in the summer.

Morelos is a proven player, but many more performances like Sunday’s could make it easier for the Gers to move him on if a decent bid comes in for him.
