Alfredo Morelos snubbed again as Rangers star NOT in Colombia squad for Argentina clash

Rangers striker Alfredo Morelos has again been left out of the Colombia squad as they prepare to face Argentina.

The forward received a return call-up to the international fold last month, one that means he will miss Ranger s' crunch derby clash with Celtic on Wednesday night.

Morelos failed to make the match day contingent for last week's World Cup qualifying defeat to Peru.

The latest omission means the 25-year-old will return to Glasgow without kicking a ball for his country.

He's already missed matches with Livingston, Stirling Albion and Ross County.

Earlier on Tuesday, Rangers boss Giovanni van Bronckhorst described Morelos being left out for the Peru clash as "harsh".

"Obviously you don’t want to lose players in the season but we have to respect the rules in the FIFA calendar.

"As a club, we cannot do anything. It is a pity for him, and also for us as a club, that he is not even in the squad.

"He has been two weeks away but not featured in the games.

"To not have him in the squad and Morelos not having minutes with his country, it is very harsh. Especially for Morelos himself."
