Morelos fined for Old Firm red card
Last updated 2nd Apr 2019
Rangers boss Steven Gerrard revealed Alfredo Morelos has accepted a club fine for picking up a fifth red card of the season in Sunday's Old Firm derby against Celtic at Parkhead.
The Colombian saw red for an off-the-ball elbow on Hoops skipper Scott Brown in the Gers' 2-1 defeat and will now miss the next four games through suspension.
"He has shown remorse and accepted the punishment" - Steven Gerrard
Morelos, who had one of his red card rescinded, posted an apology on his Twitter account on Monday and Gerrard said on Tuesday morning: "He has shown remorse and accepted the punishment I have given him.
"We spoke to his representation as well and everyone is on the same page.
"Now it is just a decision for the club to decide where the fine goes to but Alfredo has accepted, shown remorse and apologised.
Gerrard added: "I think he made that public himself which is the right thing to do and we draw a line under it.
"Moving forward we hope Alfredo learns the hard way and we wait now for him to return to help us in the final push.'
