# Rangers: Neil McCann slams Alfredo Morelos

**Glasgow [Rangers](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/rangers-fc-news/) striker Alfredo Morelos has [come under fire](https://www.ibroxnews.com/2022/09/17/neil-mccann-blasts-rangers-striker-alfredo-morelos/) from pundit Neil McCann for his social media activity.**

### The lowdown

The 26-year-old’s involvement for Rangers this season has been limited, with just [175 minutes](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/alfredo-morelos/leistungsdaten/spieler/338962) of football under his belt.

After playing 72 minutes of the Champions League clash against Napoli last week, Morelos was an unused substitute for the 2-1 victory over Dundee United at the weekend ([Transfermarkt](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/alfredo-morelos/leistungsdaten/spieler/338962)).

Attitude concerns seem to be playing a big part in his sporadic game-time, with Giovanni van Bronckhorst leaving the Colombian out of the squad for the Champions League play-off second leg against PSV Eindhoven because he did not deem the striker ready to play (via [The Athletic](https://theathletic.com/3537661/2022/08/25/van-bronckhorst-morelos-rangers/?source=twitteruk)).

### The latest

Speaking to BBC Sportsound (via [Ibrox News](https://www.ibroxnews.com/2022/09/17/neil-mccann-blasts-rangers-striker-alfredo-morelos/)), McCann tore into Morelos for videos that he had posted on social media, although he did credit Van Bronckhorst for his management of the 26-year-old.

The ex-Rangers winger said: *“There’s lots of things – Morelos is annoying me that he’s sending social media videos in the gym.* *Who cares? No seriously, who cares? He shouldn’t be in a public gym.*

*“The world of football has changed in terms of how you deal with players and I think Giovanni has made a couple of great managerial decisions with Morelos.”*

### The verdict

Whatever you make of Morelos’ social media activity, it feels like the end may be in sight for the striker at Rangers.

His [£33,000-per-week](https://salarysport.com/football/scottish-premiership/rangers/) contract is due to expire at the [end of this season](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/alfredo-morelos/profil/spieler/338962), and you don’t imagine the current circumstances are particularly conducive to a renewal. Morelos has [publicly expressed](https://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/sport/football/football-transfer-news/alfredo-morelos-rangers-exit-hope-24896372) a desire to leave Ibrox in the past, perhaps believing that he should be playing in what he feels is a stronger league.

Maybe Rangers would even consider selling him in January, seizing upon what could be their final opportunity to cash in on the Colombian.
