Rangers boss Michael Beale hailed Antonio Colak - and says he’s now ready to challenge out-of-contract star Alfredo Morelos as Gers’ main striker.
The Croat was outstanding in the 3-1 win over Kilmarnock at Ibrox, with goals from Connor Goldson, Fashion Sakala and James Tavernier securing three Premiership points. Colak bagged 15 goals in the early part of the season but hasn’t been fully fit since Beale’s arrival as manager. He looked back to his best yesterday after being given the nod over Morelos to lead the line following last week’s Viaplay Cup Final defeat to Celtic at Hampden. Beale was delighted with his contribution and now wants to see more.
He said: “I’ve only had the option of Alfredo since I came back in but Tony is fully fit now. I thought he was our best player today. He linked the play really well and you could see he has been doing some fitness work behind the scenes. That (his performance) is the main thing I’ll take away from the game. I went with Tony because his personality and energy was worth a start.
