The double took Morelos to 19 goals for the season, 11 of which have been scored in the league.
He was subject of interest from China in January 2018 but Gerrard will make sure to hold onto a player who has arguably been the best in Scotland this season.
“Alfredo Morelos is a top class finisher,” said the Rangers boss. “He must be a nightmare to play against. I see him constantly giving defenders a tough afternoon. He has a hunger to score goals.
“At big times and big moments he (Morelos) has stepped us for us and he is benefiting from the hard work he put in at pre-season.
“My message is simply on Morelos, he is going nowhere.”
