Rangers welcome Alfredo Morelos back for Celtic showdown as striker hailed as 'important' asset

Rangers welcome Alfredo Morelos back for Celtic showdown as striker hailed as 'important' asset

ALFREDO MORELOS has returned to Rangers' squad for their Premiership showdown against Celtic.

The Colombian will be available for selection at Parkhead tomorrow and could feature.

Morelos was suspended for the last two matches after a red card at Hibernian but had been left out of the Rangers squad to face PSV Eindhoven in the Champions League play-off match due to fitness levels and other concerns, including his attitude.

Van Bronckhorst said: “Yes, Alfredo is in the squad for tomorrow. I had a good talk with him last Sunday and I think he understood the message and also worked hard to be back and to help the team because he is still a quality player with a lot of threat in front of goal.

“He has been training this week, very positive, so he will be included in the squad.”

Meanwhile, Rangers will be without Tom Lawrence for tomorrow's match against Celtic.

Van Bronckhorst added: "Lawrence is not available for tomorrow, he will be out for a few weeks.

"It's never a good feeling to miss big games. Lawrence has had a great start to his Rangers career and is unfortunate he will miss the next couple of weeks. We still have to perform with the strong squad we have available."
