Ex-Rangers striker Alfredo Morelos sparked incredible celebrations as he netted in the final of the Copa Colombia.
The 28-year-old bagged the third goal of the night for his side Atletico Nacional in the first-leg of the final of the competition against CD America.
Morelos joined the Colombian side on loan from Santos after failing to help steer the Brazilian side away from top-flight relegation last term.

His most recent strike prompted huge celebrations from players and fans alike as Nacional claimed a 3-1 victory in the first leg of the Copa Colombia.
In the 72nd-minute, Morelos popped up to slide the ball home and ensure his side would head into the return fixture with a two-goal cushion.
