# Rangers: Morelos blasted for St. Johnstone display

**A lot of Rangers fans have been slating their club’s 24-year-old centre-forward, Alfredo Morelos, for his performance in the Glasgow club’s [3-0 Premiership win over St. Johnstone on Wednesday evening](https://www.whoscored.com/Matches/1463231/Live/Scotland-Premiership-2020-2021-St-Johnstone-Rangers).**

The Colombian was the first substitute that Rangers used in this game, as he replaced Kemar Roofe in the [64th minute](https://www.whoscored.com/Matches/1463231/Live/Scotland-Premiership-2020-2021-St-Johnstone-Rangers).

The Gers already had a 3-0 lead when Morelos came on and the [£13.5m-rated](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/alfredo-morelos/marktwertverlauf/spieler/338962) man had a [chance to increase that lead in the 84th minute](https://twitter.com/RangersFC/status/1341831056291459072) following a ‘mix up at the back’ for St. Johnstone, but that attempt on goal flew past the post.

That was Morelos’ [only shot](https://www.whoscored.com/Matches/1463231/LiveStatistics/Scotland-Premiership-2020-2021-St-Johnstone-Rangers) in this contest and he finished the game with the [lowest WhoScored rating](https://www.whoscored.com/Matches/1463231/LiveStatistics/Scotland-Premiership-2020-2021-St-Johnstone-Rangers) of any Gers player (5.84). He also ended the game having taken the third-fewest touches of any Rangers player (17) with Bongani Zungu, who came on as a substitute 13 minutes after him, even taking more touches of the ball, [per WhoScored](https://www.whoscored.com/Matches/1463231/LiveStatistics/Scotland-Premiership-2020-2021-St-Johnstone-Rangers).

### **So, what did these Rangers fans have to say about Morelos’ performance versus St. Johnstone?**

Many supporters of the Glasgow club directed fierce criticism at the 24-year-old for his display on Wednesday, with some Gers fans blasting the striker for missing that chance in the 84th minute, in particular.
