Flabbergasted Ally McCoist suffers Alfredo Morelos malfunction as Rangers hero delivers 'doesn't learn' verdict

Rangers icon Ally McCoist was left struggling to find the words to describe Alfredo Morelos in the wake of his action-packed display against Hibs.

The Colombian netted the only goal of the game against Hibs but fans and pundits weren't talking up his neat finish after the final whistle.

But it was the flashpoint in the opening exchanges that left many up in arms as he appeared to stamp on Ryan Porteous although referee Kevin Clancy didn't take any action.

Rangers legend Kris Boyd let rip at Morelos over the incident and McCoist was also unimpressed but McCoist struggled to find the words to sum up the striker in general.

Responding to Alan Brazil on his talkSPORT breakfast show, he said: "I've got no idea, I've got absolutely no idea, I would love to give you an answer, I can't, I can't mate.

"How frustrating, how frustrating? I don't know, I just don't know.

"He just doesn't learn.

"He took his goal well right enough, it's some record, Rangers defensively clean sheets, absolutely unbelievable."

McCoist's verdict follows on from Boyd's unequivocal reaction that Morelos should have been sent off by Clancy.

He said: There is no getting away from it.

“He is very lucky to still be on this pitch.

“I don’t understand why he needs to do it. I can’t work it out.

“People could tell me that he’s trying to get out the road of him - he’s not. You can see it right there.

“He is very lucky to still be on this pitch."
