Graeme Souness has ordered Ibrox bad boys Allan McGregor and Alfredo Morelos to clean up their acts - and insisted the Colombian’s indiscipline has cost him any chance of a move to a top English outfit.
The former Rangers boss and Sky Sport pundit was back in Scotland yesterday, 24 hours after McGregor’s crazy kick at Hibs’ Marc McNulty had earned Steven Gerrard’s club their 12th red card of the campaign.
Souness is adamant Gerrard has to find a solutioun and was scathing in his assessment of his star duo’s behaviour.
He said: “It’s ill discipline and that’s not acceptable.
“How old is Allan McGregor? 36, 37? He should have worked that out by now. Like the centre-forward they have, who’s reaching the point of no return with the things he gets sent off for.”
Morelos has seen red five times this term - one of which was rescinded - and Souness is convinced big clubs won’t touch him with a barge pole.
He added: “You go through life, not just football, and you have to learn from your mistakes.
“The big clubs in England won’t be looking at him. Elsewhere? Maybe.
“It’s how they [English] see the Scottish game, unfortunately.
“The hardest thing to do in football is score goals. Yes you might get someone in the Championship taking a chance on him, but I can’t see the Liverpools and Manchester Citys and Manchester Uniteds being interested in him. That’s how I see it.
“I wouldn’t know [his valuation], but I’d very much doubt big teams would be interested. Maybe lower end of the Premier League, but they would question his discipline.
“He’s a player, a real player, but he needs to get that out of his game. He’s somehow got to keep that fire, but control that fire.”
