Just when it seems like his disciplinary record is improving... Rangers will do well to squeeze as much fee as possible for Morelos if they can find a replacement

He's Suarez like.
Deserved win for Gerrard. 2pts behind with game in hand
...except with about one tenth of Suarez' ability, and that's on a good day.
Hopefully he’s being fined for those indiscretions as well.
[article]After a weekend where Rangers recorded their first defeat of Celtic away from home in nine-years, Pat Nevin singled out manager Steven Gerrard for praise after the Liverpool legend delivered an impressive tactical performance.
A matter of weeks after being denied his first trophy in management by Neil Lennon's Celtic, the possibility of even greater success opened up for Steven Gerrard as his Rangers side recorded a long-awaited win at Celtic Park.
The dominant side in a Scottish League Cup final that ultimately went in Celtic's favour earlier this month, Rangers saw out a 2-1 win on Sunday that will give neutral fans hope that Scotland is set to witness two teams battling it out for the title in 2020.
Sitting two-points shy of Celtic who remain atop the Scottish Premiership table, Rangers, who have one game in hand on their Glasgow rivals, owe much of this latest success to Steven Gerrard, according to former Scotland international Pat Nevin.
"The one thing that I took out of the game more than anything else was Steven Gerrard," admitted Nevin to Off the Ball, "he's got it technically.
"His tactics were actually pretty special and he did quite a few things in the game that I was so impressed with that were very different and very modern."
Taking charge of the Glasgow club ahead of the 2018/19 season, the 39-year-old will be desperate to guide Rangers to a first title win since 2010/11.
Furthermore, after a complicated few years for the blue half of Glasgow, Gerrard will undoubtedly be keen to stand in the way of Celtic as they chase a ninth title win in succession.
Although Pat Nevin remains confident that Celtic are better equipped than Rangers to win the Scottish Premiership this season, he has been impressed with Steven Gerrard and the lessons he has taken from his managerial peers.
"His adaptability is exceptional," explained Nevin. "His bravery, and that is something you see from him and these other young managers coming through, they are utterly fearless.
"It is the weirdest thing because they are different from others who are set in their ways.
"I just wonder about this new group coming through, they've learned from looking at Klopp, Pep - they've not learned from, dare I say it, Jose Mourinho.
"I'm pretty excited and Steven Gerrard hasn't blinked this season. I've been really impressed by his tactics."[/article][/article]
Oh he's personally financing the new wing in the Scottish FA headquarters.
Kent started the move and finished it
Trail Celtic by 5 points with a game in hand.

Ha love how he has blamed his players
All gone to shit pretty quickly. Although they do have a game in hand and two old firm games to come.
I think even back in June it was always going to be a tough ask to keep uop with Celtic until the end, whether they started on top and then faded or started slow and them chased them up doesn't really matter.
There's no denying he's still done fantastically well there, other than Morelos....who else in that Rangers XI gets into Celtic's?

Is there any slack for a new manager of a famous club (with all of that expectation) who is on a steep learning curve?
