Alfredo Morelos makes unusual English appearance as Rangers ace appears in Chester FC watching brief

The likeness of Rangers striker Alfredo Morelos has turned up in an unlikely place - in the stands of English club Chester FC.

The Cheshire club are one of many in the UK and abroad to generate much needed cash during the coronavirus crisis with the sale of personalised cardboard cut-outs.

And for some reason, Ibrox frontman Morelos has been placed in the front row to watch their closed-doors playoff bid.

Of course, Morelos is currently overseas, taking part in Rangers ' Veolia Trophy pre-season campaign.

He played the majority of Thursday night's clash against Lyon, which Steven Gerrard 's side won 2-0 despite a first-half red card for Ryan Kent.

Now, it's possible that the Colombian striker is a surprise fan of the National League North side.

But, more likely, someone is on the wind-up.

And in addition to the Rangers goal hero, a mock-up of singer Lionel Richie crossed with a popular biscuit - Lionel Richtea - can be seen sitting two rows behind. Chester also have a number of canine fans dotted around their Gary Talbot stand.

The team are currently playing for free to take part in the playoffs to reach the National Conference.
