Alfredo Morelos' car is being examined by police after the Rangers striker allegedly found a man tampering with it.

Morelos is reported to have discovered somebody underneath his Lamborghini sports car when he returned to his vehicle on Tuesday night.

Police Scotland Detective Inspector Kenny McDonald told Sky Sports News: "Following reports of a man allegedly tampering with a car in a secured car park in Glasgow last night (Tuesday, January 28, 2020), I can confirm that we have removed the vehicle for examination.

"At this time no criminality has been established."

Rangers said: "We are aware of an incident involving Alfredo's car and this has been reported to the police. We can say nothing further at this stage."

Speaking after Rangers' game against Ross County on Wednesday night, boss Steven Gerrard praised Morelos for keeping his mind on the job during the 2-0 win.

"I haven't had a chance to speak to Alfredo as I was only made aware a couple of hours before kick-off," Gerrard said.

"But I'm told it's a police investigation now, so we'll support that and there's not much I can say on the incident. The good thing is Alfredo's fine.

"It's a very unfortunate situation and not one that happens to you every day, but he's fine because that's the way he is, pretty laid back.

"He handled the situation extremely well, probably better than I would have done."
