ALFREDO Morelos today admitted he was very happy that "champions" Rangers had moved to within a point of winning their first Scottish title in 10 years thanks to a 3-0 win over St Mirren at Ibrox.
Morelos scored the second goal in the first-half of the Premiership match to take his tally for the 2020/21 campaign to 15 and his side to within the brink of landing the league trophy.
If Celtic fail to beat Dundee United at Tannadice tomorrow afternoon then their Glasgow rivals will clinch it without kicking a ball.
If the quadruple treble winners triumph on Tayside then the runaway top flight leaders will just need to draw at Parkhead in their next match on Sunday, March 21, in order to prevail.
Speaking to Rangers TV after the game, Man of the Match Morelos said: "I am very happy today. The team played well again, champions. I am very, very happy for the team. I enjoyed today. Now we will focus on the next game.
Asked how he felt he was playing personally, Morelos said: "I am very happy. Every game I score or get an assist. Every game is the same - I give 100 per cent and play well for the team. It is good for me."
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
