Steven Gerrard had the last laugh after Alfredo Morelos fired a last-gasp winner to send Rangers one step closer to the Scottish Premiership title.

The Gers boss was sent off at half-time of the clash at the Tony Macaroni Arena after furiously confronting referee John Beaton for his failure to award his side a penalty before the break and instead booking Morelos for simulation.

But it was Morelos who had the final say as he netted an 87th minute winner to take Rangers one step closer to a first title in 11 years

And Gerrard was understandably in a very different mood after the game, and even revealed Morelos was dancing topless to Neil Diamond’s hit song Sweet Caroline after his late winner.

When asked in his post-match interview if the Colombian striker was getting a reputation unfairly, he said: “Don’t worry about Alfredo he’s just scored the winner.

“He’s dancing around here with no top on to Sweet Caroline he is fine.”

Asked what music would be played on the bus ride back to Glasgow, he added: “I don’t know we don’t usually put the tunes on, we just have some food and get ourselves home

“But I do like Sweet Caroline after a win.”

Gerrard also fumed at Beaton and his assistants for making the mistake.

He said: “It’s 100 per cent a penalty. I’m someone who wants to support officials as much as I can because I realise how hard the job is.

“I’ll go with one of the officials making a mistake, a genuine mistake – but I can’t have three making the same mistake.

“John Beaton’s looking at it clearly, the linesman’s looking at it clearly and the fourth official’s looking at it clearly.

“I’ve got the worse view out of everyone and I can see it clearly.

“I’ll go with one mistake and I’ll keep trying to do everything I can to support officials but I can’t have it when three make the same mistake.

“It’s bang out of order.”
