Morelos delivers defiant 'warrior' line after Rangers Champions League draw against PSV

Morelos delivers defiant 'warrior' line after Rangers Champions League draw against PSV

ALFREDO MORELOS has shown he's up for the Champions League fight as he delivered a "warrior" quote following Rangers' draw with PSV Eindhoven.

The striker didn't feature in the 2-2 draw at Ibrox but was on the bench and available for selection in the match.

However, Giovanni van Bronckhorst instead brought on Scott Wright and Glen Kamara in the first-leg of the play-off.

Antonio Colak started up-front and netted a fine strike to level the scores in the first-half.

After the match Morelos took to Instagram to share an image of a warrior with a quote in Spanish.

The line translates to: "A warrior is not the one who always wins, he is the one who always fights."

The quote certainly relates to Rangers after the draw at Ibrox but could also reference Morelos' attitude in fighting for the starting striker spot.

Asked why Morelos hadn't been subbed on during the match, Van Bronckhorst responded: "Why? Colak played fine, he had energy and was very dangerous.

"For me, that wasn't a point I had to change.”
