Alfredo Morelos will miss Rangers' clash against Celtic as Gio van Bronckhorst details injury blow

Giovanni van Bronckhorst has confirmed that Alfredo Morelos will miss the Old Firm on Sunday.

The 25-year-old striker sustained an injury whilst on international duty with Colombia.

Morelos returned early but he was pictured travelling to London to visit a specialist on Thursday afternoon.

Rangers welcome Celtic to Ibrox on Sunday afternoon with Ange Postecgolou's side holding a three-point lead at the top of the Premiership table.

Gers boss van Bronckhorst confirmed that Morelos is injured and he's likely to be out longer term.

He told Sky Sports: "Alfredo unfortunately had a new injury while on duty with Colombia so he wont be available for this Sunday.

"We will lose him for a longer time. We will assess him for next few days. He's out for Sunday.

"It's always a blow when you lose players, not being able to play in games.

"Morelos is an important player for us. We have a big challenge ahead of us in the coming weeks, months.

"We have to be ready and make sure the ones who are able to play are well prepared."
