Michael Beale can never be accused of not knowing what he wants.
Whether he’ll get it this summer? That remains to be seen. But the Rangers boss has a vision of how he sees his new team at the start of August. And at the top end of the pitch he wants to secure HIS version of what an Ibrox centre-forward should look like. So far in his tenure as boss, he has been restricted in that sense. Antonio Colak and Kemar Roofe have both been injured for long spells.
And Alfredo Morelos – for all his quality when he’s at his best – isn’t the energetic, mobile, relentless striker that Beale has set his heart on. That’s why the Colombian will be allowed to leave Rangers this summer. A few weeks ago, the manager claimed that frontman Kyogo Furuhashi is the reason why Celtic are the Premiership champions. That’s how much emphasis he puts on a No.9 and their role within a side.
