Rangers captain James Tavernier posted a picture of himself slapping Alfredo Morelos on the forehead during the Light Blues’ 1-0 win against Kilmarnock yesterday.
The image shows the fullback covering the Colombian striker’s eyes, and the skipper captioned the photo by stating:
The only way to stop him ? pic.twitter.com/UTzfgCDSs0

Of course, fans on Twitter were quick to point out that the form Morelos is in, he could even score with his eyes closed:
He’d just run through you, if you tried to stop him

Morelos now has 28 goals in 34 games this season after scoring the winner against Killie but his focus will now purely be on breaking his duck against Celtic.
The Old Firm derby on Sunday is going to be pivotal in determining who is the favourite to lift the league title. If the Gers win at Parkhead, they will go within two points with a game in hand.
However, if the home side do come out on top, they will stretch out an eight-point gap at the top of the table. Morelos will be doing all he can to ensure that doesn’t happen.
