Alfredo Morelos warning for Rangers as St Joseph's star reveals plot to get striker sent off

St Joseph's defender Ryan Casciaro has revealed his plot to get under the skin of Alfredo Morelos .

The 35-year-old insists he has a host of tricks up his sleeve he hopes will goad the Rangers star into doing "something stupid" during this week's Europa League qualifier.

Steven Gerrard takes his side to Gibraltar on Tuesday looking to avoid the ignominious fate that awaited Celtic against Lincoln Red Imps back in 2016.

St Joseph's saw off Kosovan side Prishtina in the first round and now Casciaro admits he'll do whatever it takes to nullify the threat of Rangers' 30-goal striker, who was sent off no fewer than five times last term.

He told The Daily Mail: "I watched two of the Old Firm games last season and I saw the red card for their striker Morelos for the elbow on Scott Brown and the Celtic win.

"That's one thing any team would try to do - upset Rangers, to get Morelos, speak Spanish, get on his back and make him do something stupid.

"Whether you are inexperienced and young or not, if someone has a temper, anyone would have a dig at him to see how he reacts.

"It's something we will have a look at and develop in our game plan. Scott Brown doesn't speak Spanish but we got on his back!

"Listen, Morelos is a very good player as well, we know that. A bad temper but an excellent player.

"Fast, aggressive, skilful and a great shot."
