Rangers captain James Tavernier has joked that Alfredo Morelos has "carried" his teammates this season.

Morelos bagged the second goal in his side's 2-0 win over Motherwell this afternoon.

The Colombian was subsequently sent-off for a second yellow card, but skipper Tavernier seemed content to forgive and forget.

Posting a celebratory photo on social media of him on his mate's shoulders, Tavernier wrote: "He's been carrying us all season", with a smiling emoji.

Fans adored the picture and it quickly racked up thousands of likes and shares.

One fan wrote: "World class".

Another added: "Well played today Captain".

One commented: "Well said captain".

A fourth said: "He's great but so are you", with a love-heart emoji.

Morelos' red card will see him miss Friday evening's game against Hibs.
