RANGERS striker Alfredo Morelos could've celebrated a hat-trick against Motherwell if not for two offside calls at Ibrox.

The Colombian netted the opener for Rangers in the 2-2 draw with Motherwell yesterday but saw two efforts ruled out by the linesman in the second half.

Morelos and Fashion Sakala had put Rangers 2-0 up in the first 45 minutes before Motherwell battled back to claim a point in Glasgow.

However, Morelos thought he'd won the match for his side as he netted twice only to be denied by the officials.

Sportscene pundits Steven Naismith and James McFadden offered their thoughts on the "tight calls" as they suggested the second may have been harsh.

Discussing Morelos' header that was ruled out, Naismith commented: "This one I think is offside, also with his body leaning forward it emphasises the point that he is offside.

"For me this one is offside, I think this is the clearer one of the two."

And on the second offside call - after which Morelos slammed home - Naismith explained: "The second one, for me, until we get better camera angles than that then you're not going to get...

"It's a fantastic ball for Kent to see that pass but what goes against him is he is this side (nearer) of the centre-half in the line of the linesman.

"Fantastic finish but it's small margins."

Former Motherwell ace McFadden insisted the second in particular was a close call but suggested Morelos was "most likely" onside.

He said: "Tight calls aren't they. You can see Bevis Mugabi's right foot is most likely playing Alfredo Morelos onside but we can't see along the line.

"We've don't have VAR. We're not going to have VAR for another year at least.

"What I will say is the assistant is looking straight across the line so you expect him to get it right but they don't always.

"We can't tell for sure whether it's on or not."
