Michael Beale addresses Alfredo Morelos injury scare ahead of Celtic Old Firm derby at Ibrox

Michael Beale has addressed injury concerns over Alfredo Morelos after the striker limped off against Motherwell ahead of Monday's huge Old Firm clash.

The Rangers boss will face an anxious wait to see if the Colombian striker will pass a fitness test ahead of the New Year's showdown. Morelos went down with tightness in his hamstring during the clash with Motherwell tonight where the Light Blues ran out 3-0 winners. Beale has admitted he hopes the problem is "nothing serious" as he revealed he may utilise Antonio Colak or Kemar Roofe who have returned to training this week, but never made tonight's squad.

Speaking after the match, Beale told BBC Sportsound: "I think at this moment he [Morelos] had a bit of tightness. He's been playing with aches and pains, hence why he never played against Ross County because he hasn't played much this year. The last two games took a lot out of him.
