For the first time in his Rangers career, Alfredo Morelos isn’t the club’s first choice striker.
The Colombian was dropped from the squad last month ahead of the crucial Champions League playoff second leg against PSV, with Giovanni van Bronckhorst citing concerns over attitude and fitness. His decision was fully vindicated after Antonio Colak fired the gers into the group stage with the only goal of the game in Eindhoven.
The Croat’s form since arriving in the summer has him at the head of the Ibrox striking queue. Nine goals in 13 appearances from the gers’ number nine is an impressive return and his ability to lead the line has proved effective for the way van Bronckhorst wants to play. He’s the man in possession of the jersey and there’s not many arguments to be made for him not getting the nod to start against Hearts at Tynecastle this Saturday.
