The Alfredo Morelos lung burster as Rangers star's stunner leaves commentator reaching for his inhaler

Few goals in recent memory have shaken Ibrox to its foundations the way Alfredo Morelos ' seismic Porto strike did.

The striker's quickfire touch and finish sent Rangers on their way to a memorable Europa League victory on Thursday.

It left Ally McCoist, who knows a thing or two about scoring goals, waxing lyrical about the 22-year-old.

But perhaps the best reaction to the Colombian's 21st goal of the campaign was this Spanish-speaking commentator and his lung bursting effort.

His breathless "goooooooooal" finished just about in time for Steven Davis to fire home Rangers' second three minutes later.

The result puts Steven Gerrard 's side in strong contention to qualify for the last 32 with two crucial fixtures to come against Feyenoord and Young Boys.

Morelos' exploits, meanwhile, saw him gain continental recognition as he was catapulted into the top 10 of UEFA's Power Rankings.

The table collates the best performing players in Europe and Morelos burst onto the list at number eight on Friday morning.

The revitalised Borna Barisic was also in the mix at number 22.
