Alfredo Morelos thanked a higher power after his “rewarding” return to action for Rangers. And the Colombian has vowed to further improve “by the hand of God” after scoring on his return to action.
El Bufalo had been sidelined for four months after a thigh muscle tear forced him to miss the Premiership title run in last season, including the Gers Europa League final defeat to Eintracht Frankfurt and their Scottish Cup final victory over Hearts.
Gio van Bronckhorst brought in Antonio Colak during the summer transfer window and the new number nine opened his league account with the opener against Kilmarnock. Morelos was then introduced from the bench and sealed the win with a late second at Ibrox. He’s now in contention to start against Union Saint-Gilloise on Tuesday night as the Light Blues look to launch a salvage mission after a damaging 2-0 first leg defeat in Leuven.
