Rangers have a representative on the shortlist for the SPFL Goal of the Month competition for February.
Who else, but Alfredo Morelos.
The Colombian is included for the second of his efforts in the 4-2 win against Aberdeen.

With the scores locked at 1-1 in the 38th minute, Ryan Jack started a flowing move.
After some lovely link up play, the ball found El Buffalo on the edge of the area. He still had a lot of work to do, though.
He shifted the ball onto his left foot, opened his body up and calmly stroked it into the far corner.

It was a finish that oozed class and is definitely one of his best in a Rangers shirt.

However, he’ll face stiff competition if he’s to win the award.
There are nine other nominations, including free-kicks from Dundee’s Scott Wright and Odsonne Edouard of Celtic.
Furthermore, strikes from Stephen Mallan and Darian MacKinnon are definitely worthy of honourable mentions.

The real standout, though, in my opinion, was scored on Wednesday night.
George Oakley pulled off a Van Basten-esque finish against Aberdeen. Striking the ball from a seemingly impossible angle, the striker’s volley went over a helpless Joe Lewis and in off the far upright.

It’s some effort.
