Ever since Steven Gerrard’s appointment, the Rangers fans had been raving about a revolution at Ibrox and most of them were confident that their club can challenge Celtic for the Scottish League title this season.
But the Light Blues have not gotten off to a great start in the league after they drew their first game of the season 1-1 against Aberdeen.
Rangers led the game for most of the match despite playing the game with 10 men but it was a 93rd-minute goal from Aberdeen’s Bruce Anderson which spoilt the party for Steven Gerrard.
Morelos was shown a straight red for an off the ball incident with an Aberdeen defender and immediately the Gers fans have been blaming the referee for punishing their club for a rather soft tackle.
And now it seems even Steven Gerrard has voiced his concerns over the red card and claims that Rangers have been subject of such harsh decisions for a long time now.
Gerrard said: “It seems like the world is against us today,
“But we’ll make sure we get better for that because it looks like some more decisions will go against us as the season goes on.
“We need to try and use it to our advantage. It’s not just today, I believe it’s been happening for seasons. That’s just my opinion.
“I thought we were excellent for 93 minutes. Unfortunately, we have then conceded a goal.
“But I thought we were better than Aberdeen with 11 men and better than them with 10. We looked like the team with all the ideas.
“Anyone in this stadium or watching on Sky will know we are a better team than Aberdeen.”
But it was not only the officials who were the subject of Gerrard’s rage as the manager had a couple of harsh comments about his striker Alfredo Morelos.
He added: “When you react like that, you leave officials with decisions to make, so we’ll speak to him about the part he has played in it.
“But we feel hard done by because we felt he was provoked twice with violent barges from McKenna.
“No way in the world was his kick out violent. So we didn’t think he deserved a red.
“At the same time, with the penalty, there was no attempt to play the ball. So it’s beyond me how a card can’t be shown for that situation.
“Are opponents deliberately trying to wind Alfredo up? Possibly. So he needs to learn and be ready for that.
“I can’t prove that’s the case but (after seeing) two violent barges by McKenna, it seems people are out to wind him up, yeah.
“What’s disappointing from our point of view is that the whole incident was two or three seconds but the assistant only saw one second of it.
“So he sees Alfredo’s instant in one second but not the two barges in the other two seconds.”
