The Colombian netted 124 times in 269 matches in six years at Ibrox, winning both the Premiership and the Scottish Cup. The ex HJK youngster - who has won 11 caps for his country - also passed the 200 career goal mark last month. Ahead of Nacional's clash with Cucuta on Tuesday, the team bus was forced to take a detour after local fans launched rocks at the transport. Morelos was one of several players who was struck by glass from the windows and had to get treatment. Images of the shattered glass then quickly circulated on social media. But after declaring himself fit to play, the frontman ended up having the last laugh by bagging his side's third goal in the 3-0 win. After the game, Cucuta president Wilmar Sanchez revealed his horror at the attack and detailed the injury suffered by Morelos.
