Alfredo Morelos' agent brands Rangers star's referee treatment 'comical' as he salutes calm reaction to flashpoint

Rangers star Alfredo Morelos' agent Michael Gorman has rounded on Scottish referees after his client was booked for simulation against Livingston.

The Colombian looked to have been clipped by Lions keeper Max Stryjek as he knocked the ball past him but match official John Beaton flashed a yellow card instead of awarding a spot-kick.

The incident seemed to prompt a furious reaction from Ibrox boss Steven Gerrard who was shown a red card and sent to the stand for his protestations.

And World In Motion intermediary Gorman, who has publicly backed his client in the past on Twitter over his treatment in Scottish football, claims that his client showed "incredible restraint" to stay calm.

He said on Twitter: "At this point, it’s almost comical.

"SPFL referees clearly treating Morelos unfairly in comparison to other players.

"Incredible restraint shown by Alfredo to not lose his cool after the terrible call."
