Alfredo Morelos and Ally McCoist Rangers European record compared as Steven Gerrard hails 'incredible' achievement

When you match a record set by a player at the level of Ally McCoist then you're doing fairly well.

Alfredo Morelos hit his 21st goal in European competition for Rangers on Thursday night when he headed home the winner against Lech Poznan in the Europa League.

It took just 37 games for Morelos to hit that target, 16 games less than McCoist managed his feat in.

The Rangers legend did play most of his games in the Champions League rather than the Europa League, and joked about that live on BT Sport after Thursday night's match.

While host Darrell Currie and pundit Alan Stubbs were winding him up about Morelos potentially beating his record, they mentioned the competition and McCoist joked: "Well I said that to you off air but I didn't want to say it on live TV."

Morelos has taken a bit of criticism from people who suggest his record isn't as impressive because they weren't against teams as good as those McCoist faced.

But how do they compare?

Morelos has scored some vital goals in European competition, including the winner against Legia Warsaw to qualify for the group stage and strikes against Porto, Rapid Vienna and Osijek.

Steven Gerrard was full of praise for his record and described it simply as 'Incredible'.

McCoist had some decent ones too, with perhaps his most famous coming in the 1992 'Battle of Britain' against Leeds United at Elland Road.
