Rangers star Alfredo Morelos impresses watching LA Galaxy chief in rout of Aberdeen

Richard Gough has revealed how LA Galaxy director Jovan Kirovski was bowled over by the display of Alfredo Morelos in Rangers 5-0 thumping of Aberdeen on Saturday.

The Colombian, who won a recall to his national team on Tuesday on the back of another powerful show against the Dons, struck his 13th goal of the season.

His display caught the eye of the American guest in the stand who, despite reckoning Morelos looked "a touch heavy", was hugely impressed.

Gough reckons the Rangers ace has finally banished his disciplinary problems and is now fully focused on his football.

So much so he impressed visiting Kirovski. Gough said: “I’ve been impressed with Morelos. He seems to have calmed down a bit.

"He played very well on Saturday. I sat next to my friend, Jovan Kirovski, who has come over to see a lot of things.

“He was asking me about Morelos and I just told him he’s a pure goalscorer. He said to me, ‘Yeah but he looks a touch heavy, Richard’ but I told him to watch and he would score.

"Right enough a minute later he did.

“Alfredo has quietened down and realised the ability he’s got. He seems a bit more comfortable within himself.

“Jovan is Steven’s friend but the MLS has a lot of money and he’s just looking at a lot of things.

"He’s off to Germany next. Three years ago no one was looking at any of the Rangers players but now they are, which is good.”
