STEVEN GERRARD admits he 'had a feeling' Alfredo Morelos would end his Premiership goal drought as he gave himself a timely Old Firm confidence boost against St Mirren.
Morelos netted his first league goal since scoring against Hibernian back in September as he added to Kemar Roofe's opener in a 2-0 win over the Buddies.
The fine finish - as he collected a loose pass from Joe Shaughnessy and beat keeper Jak Alnwick - has come at just the right time for Morelos as Rangers turn their attentions to the visit of Celtic this weekend.
Gerrard said: “Alfredo will be delighted with the goal. He has been training well and I had a good feeling it was about to come.
“He’s getting into some good places. He was unlucky against St Johnstone last week and unlucky against Hibs on Saturday when he came on.
“So I had a feeling it was only a matter of time. You can’t keep him down forever. That will do his confidence the world of good."
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
