Irvine Welsh's Alfredo Morelos Rangers outburst laid bare as he says striker should be 'macheted into small pieces'

Irvine Welsh said Rangers striker Alfredo Morelos should be 'macheted into small pieces' as his sick rant can now be revealed.

The Trainspotting author appeared on Hibs TV as a guest for the Premiership clash as Steven Gerrard's men ran out 1-0 winners.

Welsh debated Morelos' altercation with Ryan Porteous alongside host David Tanner and Hibs women's skipper Joelle Murray, but shocked viewers as he made vile comments about the Ibrox striker.

Glasgow Live could not previously publish Welsh's comments due to legal reasons, but his rant can now be laid bare.

He said: "Much more fight, much more aggression from Hibs and a bit more organisation.

"But Morelos should have been off – that was outrageous, like.

"It was a terrible sort of stamping there by the sticky bun. He should have been shown the red for that; no question at all.

"Had it been (Ryan) Porteous, he would have been off. Where is he (the ref)?

"Morelos should basically be macheted into small pieces and sent in various packages to different corners of the globe for a challenge like that and consumed by seagulls."

The SFA are probing the celebrity fan's comments.

Rangers supporter liason officer revealed on Thursday that Hibs had issued an apology for Welsh's outburst.

He said on Twitter: “We are disappointed at the comments made in relation to Alfredo and our club.

“Hibs have apologised to the club today. Nevertheless, we are sure these comments will be investigated by the football authorities.”
