Alfredo Morelos has hammered Hearts over the past four years and with a trip to Tynecastle looming the Rangers striker will be champing at the bit to get at them again.
But Mark Hateley reckons the Colombian will have to settle for being unleashed from the bench at some point on Saturday as Giovanni van Bronckhorst can’t afford to drop Antonio Colak for a match that could see the Ibrox side go back to the top of the Premiership, even if only for a couple of hours.
Celtic’s unexpected defeat to St Mirren last time out reduced their lead to just two points and gave their rivals a timely boost but Hateley knows that will count for nothing if they don’t take care of their own business in the lunch time kick-off in the capital before Ange Postecoglou’s men tackle Motherwell.The Rangers nine-in-a-row legend knows enough about Morelos’ record against the Jambos to accept he has a case for starting.
