Gio van Bronckhorst says he’ll keep picking red-hot Antonio Colak until Alfredo Morelos gets himself in from the cold. The Rangers gaffer hailed the Croat, who bagged a brilliant brace against Ross County to put the Ibrox side top of the Premiership.
Colak now has seven goals in just nine games, while Morelos has been frozen out by van Bronckhorst for a lack of professionalism. The Dutchman revealed Morelos’ attitude has improved since being left out of their trip to Eindhoven in midweek to face PSV in the Champions League play-off.
But while Colak continues to impress and score goals, van Bronckhorst says he’ll continue to lead the line for Gers. After the 4-0 win over County, he said: “I’m really happy with Antonio and he’s in a very good moment for us. The start he’s had here has been fantastic. We just have to make sure we keep pushing him and he gives us the performances we want every week. Morelos worked hard this week and I’ll sit down with him today and speak about his future. He’s still our player and Alfredo knows what he has to do to become available again. The first week’s reaction he showed has been very positive.”
