Rangers fans love him for his bullish attitude on the football field and ability to score the most outrageous goals out of nowhere. Alfredo Morelos’ season has warranted an abundance of praise from Gers fans. But on the weekend fans saw a much softer side from Morelos.
Before the game, Morelos met with a young fan named Lucas. The adorable encounter was caught on camera and shared with the Rangers supporters. They couldn’t get over how heartwarming the moment was and praised the club and Morelos for making the young boy’s dream come true. They also applauded Lucas’ brilliant manners.

That honestly almost broke me. An innocent wee star meeting his idol. When he said “thanks Alfie” I choked/gulped.

Do you think Jermain Defoe has a part to play in Morelos' growth in maturity?
Yes
No
Others suggested that this was a sign of how far Morelos has come regarding his maturity. They think Jermain Defoe has had quite the impact on the young striker, who is growing into a much more composed footballer.
Despite the press doing everything they can to damn Alfredo, the guy is an inspiration to everyone.

@IAmJermainDefoe in there as well. Keep looking after Alfie on and off the pitch please. This game and that club means so much to us all.

What do we think?
While it is important to see players improving their on-field ability, it means a lot to fans to witness Morelos growing into a much more mature player. This season he has done a lot of growing. He will surely continue to do more.
