The Colombian, 24, netted at the back stickfollowing a knockdown from Leon Balogun midway through the first half.
The striker's goal levelled the proceedings after Mohamed Elyounoussi headed the home side into an early lead in the game, which finished 1-1 in Glasgow's east end.
However, in a sick video posted on social media, Morelos has become the latest victim of yet another disgusting case of racial abuse.
The short clip, initially posted on Snapchat, shows the man filming himself directing a torrent of racial slurs towards the Gers hero - including calling him a “monkey”.

The individual repeatedly uses the discriminatory language while watching Morelos celebrate breaking his Old Firm duck.
The clip sickeningly included an emoji of a monkey on the screen.
And Police Scotland have confirmed they have launched an investigation into the matter.
A cops spokesperson said: "An investigation is underway after Police Scotland received a number of complaints regarding an offensive social media post. Our enquiries are ongoing."

Rangers said they are aware of the footage and called for social media companies to help stamp out the abuse being aimed at their stars.
An Ibrox source told SunSport: "Our captain highlighted the ongoing targeting of footballers online.
"Now is the time for social media companies to act and eradicate faceless cowards making offensive comments like this."
Celtic and Show Racism the Red Card have also been contacted for comment.

It comes just days after complaints of racism from Slavia Prague defender Ondrej Kudelatowards Light Blues midfielder Glen Kamara.
Kamara released a statement to say he was called 'a f***ing monkey' by Slavia Prague's Kudela during Thursday night's Europa League tie at Ibrox, a version of events which was backed up by his team-mate Bongani Zungu.
Kudela denied the allegations - claiming he said "you f***ing guy" when he was spotted covering his mouth and whispering something in Kamara's ear.
The Czech player also claimed he was punched by Kamara in the tunnel after the game.
