Celtic legend Chris Sutton has dubbed Alfredo Morelos 'overweight' and an 'absolute disgrace' as he issued a damming verdict of the Rangers striker's showing against the Hoops in the Scottish Cup semi-final.
Morelos failed to impact the game whatsoever at Hampden, with Celtic going on to secure a chance of completing yet another domestic Treble after Jota struck the decisive goal just before the break. James Tavernier hit the post while Fashion Sakala missed an open goal which effectively summed up the Light Blues performance.
And speaking to Viaplay Sports upon the full-time whistle, Sutton believes Morelos looked disinterested throughout the clash amid ongoing contract uncertainty. He said: "We'll probably hear the Rangers players come out tomorrow and say that we will see the real Rangers in the final (derby) game of the season which essentially doesn't matter.

"All this closing the gap stuff, there's no closing the gap cup, it's a huge, huge summer for Rangers. There were passengers today, Michael Beale has hung his hat on Alfredo Morelos and over the years has been a good Rangers player, but he's been an absolute disgrace.
"He looks overweight and when you are carrying someone like that and Michael Beale should have hooked him earlier. It's a massive problem, then you have Sakala and Matondo who you don't know what you will get from them."
