When you think of Alfredo Morelos, you think of red cards

At Celtic Park, the striker was sent off for the fifth time this season when he allowed himself to be wound up by Scott Brown. The joke on the weekend during the Old Firm derby was that 32Red on Rangers shirt was merely a sponsor and not a target. Take note, Alfredo.

Slash, Indiana Jones, Tony Pulis. Three legends – three iconic hats.“The style comes from years ago, I think, the Middlesbrough manager once explained.

When you think about Lionel Messi, you think about Cristiano Ronaldo

To some fans, you can only like one or the other, but why cant we enjoy both? When Ronaldo was at Real Madrid, they just seemed to push each other and quite rightly, are both considered to be the greatest footballers ever.“I miss Cristiano in Spain,” Messi told Radio C5N. “It was lovely having him here, even though it annoyed me seeing him win so many titles. It would be great if he was still here.”
