Glasgow Rangers saw their brief spell at the top of the Scottish Premiership table end on Wednesday night when they lost 1-0 to Aberdeen, and after the match one man felt their wrath on social media.
The Gers went into the contest with the Dons looking to maintain their position at the summit of the top flight, but fell to a tame defeat to allow Kilmarnock to overtake them and push them down to second spot.
The match was the third big game in just six days for Rangers, and while that is partly an excuse, it will still have disappointed Steven Gerrard how they meekly let go of top spot.
Part of the issue for the Gers against Aberdeen was that once again they were forced to play the last 25 minutes of the encounter with 10 men, as for the third time this season Alfredo Morelos was given his marching orders.
In truth, Rangers were labouring long before the Colombian was shown a second yellow card for a stray arm on Dons defender Graeme Shinnie, but any hope they had of forcing their way back into the match, against an opponent who also had a man sent off in the first half, went when the forward left the field.
Morelos has been given plenty of public support by Gers boss Gerrard but he needed to repay his manager for that backing, not get himself dismissed for the third time in his short stint at Ibrox.
He will now be suspended for some key matches in the run up to the Christmas period and during it, which will be a big blow for Rangers.
Their fans are certainly not impressed with the attacker, with many of them acknowledging on social media that he is something of a liability when he is getting sent off so often.
Here are some of their messages:
Certainties in life
a) Taxes
b) Death
c) A Morelos yellow card #Rangers #Aberdeen #Standfree #SPFL— Scotland Fan 🏴 (@SPFL_Fitba_Fan) December 5, 2018
I want to be critical of Morelos for getting sent off. And I am. Just effin stupid. But then I’m thinking that BBC Scotland ran a piece at the weekend about him being over-physical. Hhmmm #Rangers #RANvsABE #spfl

Utter garbage!! Not one outfield player gets pass marks tonight. As for Morelos I guess you take the good with the bad but that will be him suspended for a few games now due to his petulance again.
Missed opportunity.#Rangers 🔴⚪️🔵🇬🇧

Morelos is a disgrace. Total liability. Get him sold. No patience left with the let down. To interested in other players than the ball. #Rangers #aberdeen #ranvabe

We definitely need a decent striker in Jan if morelos can't control himself we need someone to til that space and we need a top creative mid #rangers

Gerrard has a bit of a problem with #Morelos doesn't he? #Rangers

The highs of Sunday, to a cowardly performance tonight. Back to basics on sunday it seems. Arfield a huge loss in that midfield. Rossiter has to be pushing for a start now in my opinion. Morelos giving the ref exactly what he was desperate for all night. #rangers
