Morelos bags brace for Rangers as stunning WAG posts cheeky Instagram snap

Rangers beat FC Midtjylland 3-1 in Thursday night's Europa League 2nd leg 3rd round qualifier

Ranger's forward Alfredo Morelos has made a cracking start to the new season.

The no20 was in fine form on Thursday evening as the Gers put three past Danish side FC Midtjylland in the 2nd leg of the Europa League third-round qualifier.

Under the tenure of former Kop legend Steven Gerrard, the Ibrox side has now lost just two of 20 games in continental competitions.

Thursday night's win means the Glasgow giants now face Poland side Legia Warsaw in a Europa League play-off.

ON FIRE: Morelos has now scored nine goals this season

Morelos opened his account in the 14th minute after getting on the end of an Ojo ball to slot home from close range.

And the former HJK Helsinki hitman was in the goals again shortly after the break when he received a cross from Nikola Katic.

The 23-year-old Columbia international tapped in his second of the night in the 49th minute from just yards out.

Morelos has now scored 11 goals for Rangers in the European competition and tonight's brace brings his tally for this season to nine.

Manager Steven Gerrard was full of praise for the in-form Columbia striker, singing his praises in a post-match interview.

He said: "Alfredo is Alfredo. He attacks the goal frame, shows great composure for his first goal and great control for the second one.

"Unfortunately he wasn't able to stay on the pitch for obvious reasons but I'm really pleased with all the front men with Scotty Arfield getting the assist as well. So really pleased.

Morelos's stunning missus Yesenia was right behind her man throughout the match.

RANGERS: Morelos's WAG was supporting him all the way

The brunette beauty has settled in nicely to life in Glasgow having moved to the city in 2017.

Like her husband, Yesenia has become a favourite with the Ibrox faithful.

The Columbian woman often shares pics of her and Morelos out on the town enjoying Glasgow's many bars and restaurants, keeping her 5,000 Instagram followers updated.

And the fans love the updates.

Under her most recent picture kitted out in the Gers blue, one wrote: "You are too much".

Another added: "Mama Mia!"

While a third simply said: "Stunning"
