“I just hope that the fact he has missed these chances against Celtic and has yet to score against them doesn’t become an albatross around his neck. He’s got to get back to scoring goals quickly on the domestic scene, and that starts on Saturday.”
Morelos has become a big favourite with Gers fans after his £1million move from HJK Helsinki last summer and were delighted to see him put pen to paper on a new contract with the club last week.
The Colombian’s form for the Light Blues has even seen him touted for a place in his country’s squad for this summer’s World Cup in Russia.
After his two misses against Celtic, the 21-year-old will be keen to find the net against Kilmarnock on Saturday when Graeme Murty’s side face them in the Scottish Premiership.
Football Insider verdict:
Morelos has shown enough since arriving at Ibrox to prove he knows where the goal is and Johnstone’s claim his misses raise questions over his mentality are wide of the mark. Here’s a 21-year-old Colombian who has upped sticks and moved to Finland shortly after turning 21 and scored goals consistently before moving to Scotland and continuing to score goals consistently. That should say much more about his mentality that a couple of misses. Morelos still has areas of his game he clearly needs to work on but has shown enough that his mentality is one aspect of him that should be beyond question by now.
