Rangers fear SFA could hand Alfredo Morelos ban until February following his throat-slitting gesture against Celtic

According to The Scottish Sun, SFA compliance officer Clare Whyte hasn’t ruled out filing a notice of complaint against Rangers striker Alfredo Morelos following his throat-slitting gesture at Celtic fans, and the Light Blues fear the Colombian will be banned until next month.

The Gers star was sent off after two bookings during the Old Firm derby, and he was pictured directing the controversial gesture – an act that got him sent off against Motherwell – at the Hoops faithful as he left the pitch.

While Morelos is due to miss Rangers’ first three games of 2020 as a result of his dismissal, a possible SFA charge – which would extend his suspension – is on the cards.
