Now before you all start berating me for saying this, for all I wind up Alfredo Morelos in this blog, him potentially missing the Glasgow Derby IS a boost for Celtic.
I know his goal scoring record against us is poor, but him missing from that team weakens them and anyone that says otherwise is kidding themselves.
The Colombian FA released a statement regarding Morelos fitness, “The coaching and medical staff of the Colombia Men’s Senior National Team reports that, after performing medical examinations on player Alfredo Morelos, a muscle injury to his left thigh was confirmed, which prevented him from participating in the previous commitment against Bolivia and in the same way does not allow him to participate in the next match of the Qualifiers for the FIFA Qatar 2022 World Cup.
“For this reason, the striker is called off to begin his recovery work. We wish the player a good return to his club.”
Morelos is a pain the *rse. Without doubt the most unliked *Rangers striker since Judas but for very different reasons.
But with the game less than a week away, the Celtic fans on this thread clearly think Morelos is no great miss:
Can Celtic appeal this?
