Steven Gerrard and Alfredo Morelos win awards as Rangers pair are rewarded for impressive month

Rangers pair Steven Gerrard and Alfredo Morelos have been rewarded for their impressive September with awards.

Gerrard has been named Ladbrokes manager of the month while Morelos picked up the player of the month award for September.

It's the first time for Morelos has won the award while Gerrard picked it up back in April. It comes off the back of a spell that ended with Rangers at the top of the Premiership.

Gerrard's side have won all three games since the defeat to Celtic on September 1, with wins over Livingston, St Johnstone and Aberdeen.

Morelos scored key goals in each of those games as the Ibrox, with the impressive win over Aberdeen a shining moment for the club in particular.

The Colombian's form earned him a call-up to the national team and he played both friendlies against Chile and Algeria.

He didn't manage to find the back of the net but played more than an hour of each clash.

David Macdonald of Ladbrokes said: "There is no doubt that Steven Gerrard has injected some real optimism in the west end of Glasgow this season and with Alfredo Morelos scoring for fun the excitement is only going to grow for the Rangers fans."
