It takes a lot to get mild-mannered Arthur Numan wound up. But he admits watching Alfredo Morelos in recent weeks has sparked a mix of indignation and annoyance.
The former Rangers star believes the Colombian’s poor attitude and lack of impact should see the striker thanked for his service and waved goodbye to this summer. The out-of-contract hitman has fallen behind Antonio Colak in Michael Beale’s pecking order, with the Ibrox boss demanding the 26-year-old show more energy if he wants back in.
The warning echoes a dressing-down issued by predecessor Giovanni van Bronckhorst at the start of the season when the Dutchman rebuked Morelos over his fitness and attitude levels. But almost seven months on – and with less than three left on his deal – van Bronckhorst’s countryman and former team-mate Numan has seen little sign of an improvement. That’s why he believes Morelos’ time in Glasgow should be coming to an end.
