Did Rangers make a mistake leaving out Alfredo Morelos v Hearts?

The biggest talking point as Rangers headed into their eventual 1-0 Scottish Cup defeat to Hearts was the exclusion of talismanic striker Alfredo Morelos from the matchday squad. The Colombian forward wasn’t recalled to action at Tynecastle despite being available after Wednesday night’s win over Braga, for which Morelos was suspended. Steven Gerrard explained that…

Can’t have it both ways SG is the boss if he says Wednesday return then it’s F®©kin Wednesday return supposing you have to swim. I’ve always been on Morelos’ side and can imagine all the sh@t he’s been through but the support from fan’s, players and SG has just been rewarded with this. We lost and it’s only conjecture if he had played it would be different I support the decision of SG or else everyone will take the piss, remember no good deed goes unpunished.

Have to support the manager, but wonder if he considered fining him two weeks wages instead? Not that it matters now.

Always SG is the man no question the responsibility is with the players they have already said this, let’s sort out the Germans now. There is more money in that route anyway, lets get three knocked past them at home and see how they handle that at home.
