Michael Beale has confirmed that Alfredo Morelos will be leaving Rangers this summer.
And the Ibrox boss appeared to fire a final parting shot at the Colombian after his side defeated Aberdeen.
Morelos was left on the bench and came on as a substitute, but Beale was furious with how wasteful his team were.
He said: “Morelos is moving on. You saw a difference when he came on and not a positive difference.
“I think we’re probably the most wasteful team in the final third I’ve ever seen.”
Todd Cantwell’s terrific second-half volley was enough to give Rangers a 1-0 Premiership win over Aberdeen at Ibrox.
On the day Celtic retained the league title with a 2-0 win over Hearts at Tynecastle, the former Norwich midfielder gave the home fans something to cheer about in the 65th minute with a fine finish from a James Tavernier corner.
Barry Robson’s rejuvenated Dons beat Rangers 2-0 at Pittodrie two weeks ago in the last game before the split and they had their chances again but it turned out to be a first defeat in eight for the third-placed visitors.
Michael Beale’s side had lost three out of their last four, including a Scottish Cup semi-final loss to Celtic at Hampden Park last Sunday, so will welcome a return to winning ways, albeit via a patchy performance.
