(CNN) Rangers striker Alfredo Morelos was sent off for the fifth time this season as the Colombian international saw red in the Old Firm derby, which is one of the most famous -- and at times infamous -- rivalries in British football.

Morelos was red carded in the first half soon after Odsonne Edouard's well-taken goal had put Scottish Premiership leaders Celtic ahead.

The 22-year-old Colombian international has scored 29 goals in all competitions this season and is the Scottish Premiership's leading scorer with 17 goals.
