Rangers star Alfredo Morelos branded 'a cheat' by Alan Brazil after Betfred Cup Final

Alan Brazil has hit out at Alfredo Morelos and branded the Rangers striker a cheat after the Betfred Cup Final.

The Colombian couldn't find the back of the net during the game and missed a penalty as Celtic lifted the trophy.

But it was his performance away from the penalty box that frustrated the talkSPORT host as he claimed Morelos spent more time on the ground than anywhere else.

And when questioned on whether he meant he was just trying to win stuff, Brazil didn't hold back in his judgement.

Speaking about the game he praised Jeremie Frimpong - who was sent off for a foul on Morelos - before laying into the 23-year-old striker.

He said: "The young boy that got sent off, I thought he was Celtic's best player so he was delighted after it. Running around with the trophy in the air.

"Ally (McCoist) was there and I'm sure he'll agree with me that Rangers had to capitalise on having so much possession but Morelos? He does my head in.

"I know Ally likes him as a player but you talk about someone, his middle name is Lionel. Honestly. He's always on the desk."

And Ian Holloway pushed him to find out what he meant by that by asking: "What, he's always trying to win things?"

Brazil responded: "No, He's a cheat. Simple as that. He falls over too easy. He's a good player but he's got to stop cheating."

Holloway clearly thought he might have been going a bit far and said: "Why don't you hold back?"

But the former Scotland striker wasn't willing to hold back and said: "No I don't care, it's off my chest now."
