Andy Gray claims that Rangers boss Steven Gerrard has ‘got Alfredo Morelos right’ this year after calling the striker a ‘waste of time’ last season.
The 23-year-old has greatly improved his discipline and has netted a total of 20 goals so far this season.
During the 2018/19 campaign, Morelos missed numerous matches after being sent off a total of five times.

Speaking on beIN Sports, Gray said: "He might as well not have been a Rangers player.
"This year, whatever he has done, Steven Gerrard has got him right.
"He's responded and he's been excellent this year."
"Last year he was a waste of time, he might as well have not been a Rangers player. This year, Steven [Gerrard] has got him right."

The former Rangers striker also pointed out that the arrival of Jermain Defoe could have impacted and enhanced Morelos’ performance.
He said: "Well he would. He's a threat."
The Ibrox gaffer stated that Morelos wasn’t leaving the club in the January transfer window, much to the fans’ relief.
Speaking after their 3-0 win over Hearts in the Betfred Cup semi-final, Gerrard said: "I’m not confident… I’m sure.
“I’m 100 per cent sure he’s not going anywhere.
“With all due respect, standing there last year I knew we were limited in the No 9 position. To stand there today with Alfredo Morelos and Jermain Defoe behind me, I felt different."
