EDITORS COMMENTS
In this electrifying moment captured at Neftyanik Stadium in Russia, Rangers' star striker Alfredo Morelos receives a red card during the Europa League Play Off match against FC Ufa. The Colombian international's dismissal came in the 63rd minute of the high-stakes European clash, leaving his team to play the final third of the game with ten men. Morelos had already opened the scoring for Steven Gerrard's side with a cool finish just before the half-hour mark. However, his evening took a turn for the worse when he was shown a straight red card for a challenge on FC Ufa defender, Igor Smolnikov. The referee, after consulting the video assistant referee (VAR), determined that Morelos had denied a goalscoring opportunity by preventing Smolnikov from getting to the ball with a raised boot. Rangers fans and pundits alike were left stunned by the decision, with many believing that the call was harsh. Morelos, who had been in fine form leading up to the match, was inconsolable as he made his way off the pitch, knowing that he would miss the next game in the competition. Despite the setback, Rangers managed to hold on for a 1-0 victory, securing their place in the Europa League group stages for the 2020-21 season. The team's resilience and determination were on full display as they defended valiantly against a determined FC Ufa side. This print serves as a reminder of the intense emotions and high stakes involved in European football. For Rangers fans, it's a moment they won't soon forget, even if it came with a bitter taste. As a side note, Alfredo Morelos has been a key player for Rangers since joining the club in 2017. He helped the team win the Scottish Cup in 2019, scoring the winning goal in the final against Celtic. The Colombian international has also been a prolific goalscorer in the Scottish Premiership, netting 49 goals in 95 appearances as of 2020.
