Michael Beale in detailed Rangers injury round-up as Alfredo Morelos backed by Ibrox boss

Michael Beale has come out and defended Alfredo Morelos as he provided positive injury news on John Souttar and Ianis Hagi.

The Light Blues boss previously revealed the Colombian has been playing through the pain barrier and now he has delivered another public backing for the hitman. He's come under scrutiny from a number of ex-professionals and pundits recently with his fitness levels once again coming into question. He missed two huge chances against Celtic at Ibrox in the four-goal thriller.

Antonio Colak - who was signed by Giovanni van Bronckhorst in the summer - is back in the fold as if fellow striker Kemar Roofe after periods on the sidelines with injuries. Rangers are on the road to Dundee United this weekend as the new boss bids to maintain his unbeaten start in the dugout after four wins and one draw. Speaking about the hitman in his pre-match press conference, he said: "I know what Alfredo is going through to play through one or two knocks, some players would struggle to play through this. I can see how hard he is working."
