Steven Gerrard in cheeky Rangers Alfredo Morelos wind-up as boss birthday praise goes wrong

Birthday boss Steven Gerrard couldn't resist a cheeky dig at striker Alfredo Morelos after the Rangers striker sent his gaffer well wishes.

Gerrard turned 41 on Sunday and his star striker marked the occasion by sending a message to his manager on Instagram.

The Colombian shared a snap of the Premiership title celebrations to his account with the message: "I want to wish a happy birthday to the best coach in Scotland."

Gerrard initially seemed pleased with the social media tribute, simply replying "amigo".

However, he clearly was tempted to wind up one of his star men as he came back to react to his "best coach in Scotland claim".

The Rangers boss asked: "Just Scotland", then followed up with "Europe? World?"

Morelos is currently on international duty but is in self-isolation having tested positive for Covid-19.

Despite returning the positive result the Colombian FA report he is in good health - and he seems to be in positive spirits from the look of this social media back and forth.
