Ex-Hearts star Michael Stewart has hit out at Alfredo Morelos for "utter stupidity" after the striker appeared to make a throat-slit gesture towards Celtic fans after he was sent-off.

The Colombian was shown a second yellow card for diving in the final seconds of his side's 2-1 win over their rivals at Parkhead.

On his way off the pitch, though, El Buffalo was caught on Sky Sports' cameras making the gesture seemingly towards a section of the home support.

Alfredo Morelos appears to make throat-slitting gesture towards Celtic fans after red card

Stewart, a regular pundit on BBC Scotland, criticised the front man for the needless goading of fans.

And he explained how Morelos deserved to be sent off.

Posting on social media, Stewart congratulated Rangers before adding: "As for Morelos at the end, utter stupidity and a ridiculously inflammatory gesture. 

"Deserved red card to go with his sides deserved three points."

Morelos' teammates were the match-winners this afternoon as Ryan Kent and Nikola Katic sealed all three points for Gers.

Callum McGregor scored Celtic's goal.

Light Blues coach Michael Beale was also sent-off.
