ALFREDO MORELOS has broken another milestone after his double for Rangers against Hibs - he's now smashed through the 100 goals barrier in Europe.

And it makes him only the fifth Colombian player to net over a century of goals in European football.

The Ibrox striker helped himself to a double after coming off the bench as Rangers romped to a 6-1 hammering of Hibs at Ibrox.

That means he now scored 101 goals since he moved to Europe three years ago to sign for HJK Helsinki from local club Deportivo Independiente Medellín.

Morelos scored 27 goals in the Finnish Veikkausliiga and also 15 goals in Finland's cup competitions.

Since moving to Glasgow in June 2017, Morelos has helped himself to 34 goals in the Premier League, 13 goals in the Europa League and 12 goals in the Scottish Cup and League Cup.

He's now the equal fourth top scorer in Colombian history for goals in Europe after levelling former Wigan and Fulham striker Hugo Rodallega, who now plays for Turkish side Denizlispor.

Colombians ahead of him are Jackson Martinez, with the former Porto star now playing for Portuguese minnows Portimonense, on 104 goals and veteran Villarreal hitman Carlos Bacca on 143 goals.

But Morelos is still some distance behind Colombian legend Radamel Falcao, who is set to move from Monaco to Galatasaray this week.

The veteran former Manchester United and Chelsea striker has scored 229 goals in European football in a ten year spell.
