Rangers fans react as Alfredo Morelos is named in team to face St Mirren

Rangers fans have mixed feelings about Alfredo Morelos making today's starting lineup.

He's upfront against St Mirren at Ibrox today, despite manager Steven Gerrard expressing concern that the striker has "had his head turned" by speculation surrounding his future.

The game has come too early for Kemar Roofe, but his fellow new signing Cedric Itten is named among the substitutes.

Allan McGregor is injured, so new backup keeper Jon McLaughlin comes in.

Here's what Rangers fans have been saying about the inclusion of Morelos.

"Morelos masterclass inbound" - @Greg_Shearer

"Morelos had his head turned by the mighty Lille but starts week in week out. Needs dropped" - @TheFamousRFC

"Surprised with Morelos starting. Hopefully see Itten off the bench" - @OhItsSteely

"Bit surprised Morelos is starting. I'm curious to see how our new signings go" - @MattATTTurvey

"Very interested in the body language of Alfie, especially with more pressure on him with more options in the door" - @HeartsAndHamez

"Why start Morelos when he's clearly no giving a f***?" - @SamuelELJacckson

"Surprised to see Morelos starting. I'm sure he'll know that Itten is chomping at the bit to come on so he'll need to actually try today otherwise he'll be whipped off!' - @CF3Loyal

Gerrard's men are looking to build on their 1-0 win over Aberdeen on the opening day of the Premiership season.

LINEUP

STARTING XI: McLaughlin, Tavernier, Goldson, Balogun, Barisic, Kamara, Jack, Aribo, Hagi, Kent, Morelos
