'Rangers should sell Alfredo Morelos' Andy Gray left seething as he clashes with John Collins

A furious Andy Gray has called on Rangers to sell Alfredo Morelos.

The former Ibrox striker is sick of the "loose cannon" costing his boyhood heroes.

Gray and John Collins clashed on live TV as the one-time Celtic midfielder and assistant manager hit out at Scott Brown.

Morelos was sent off for lashing out at Brown after the Hoops skipper clipped his heel during Sunday’s explosive Premiership clash.

Gray insisted it’s part of the game and Morelos must stop reacting to provocation.

Although Collins hit out at the Colombian, he also condemned his former player.

Gray, visibly seething, was having none of the criticism of Brown, though, as he slammed the Rangers striker for receiving his fifth red card of the season.

On a lively beIN Sports show, Gray said: "What can Morelos say? Nothing. But I hope his team-mates are saying plenty to him.

"I’d said to you before the game, if I was a centre-back I’d be winding him up because he’s a loose cannon.

"And Scott Brown did just that. He had a flick at him with his foot, Morelos did what Morelos does: lifts his elbow, smacks him on the chin and now he complains about being sent off.

"I don’t get him.

"And you can’t condemn Brown. It’s part of football.

"If you’re in a massive game and you’ve got someone who you know is going to lose it then you have a little nibble at him."

Collins disagreed and he said: "I wouldn’t encourage my players to do that. You call it clever but I can’t condone it. I don’t like to see it. But Morelos is a liability in big games.

"I hear so many times from Scottish journalists, 'he’s a class player, a top player'. To be a top player you have to have a top mindset and be able to control yourself. He’s just cost his team."

Gray wants Morelos banished from Ibrox as he continued: "He might have just brushed Brown – that’s not the point.

"I’d sell him. I know it’s an easy thing to say but I’d seriously have to think about selling him. That’s five red cards this season. It has cost Rangers again. He’s scored 29 goals – against who?

"Not in the games that matter because he’s been sitting in the dressing room by himself and with his thoughts. Good luck to him."
