Rangers striker Alfredo Morelos can provide the club with a much-needed boost following his return to the squad after missing the previous two matches due to international duty.
Well, international duty may be farfetched as he didn’t actually make the matchday squads for any of the two matches against Peru and Argentina as Colombia saw their World Cup hopes dangle by a thread.
The player travelled halfway around the world and missed two crucial league ties to simply provide injury cover and questions should be asked on this in regard to any future call-ups.
Alfredo Morelos can spark some life back into Rangers title ambitions
The last week hasn’t been a pleasant one for the club, a 3-3 draw with Ross County was followed by the midweek defeat to Celtic in what could only be described as a woeful performance.
The side offered nothing in an attacking sense, and I’m not saying the result would have been different had Morelos played, but he may have offered a bigger threat to the Celtic backline.
Hopefully Giovanni van Bronckhorst thrusts the Colombian straight into the starting XI for tomorrow’s tie against Hearts in what is a must-win match for the club.
The 25-year-old will surely be up for it given his recent international snub and what better way to rebound than scoring a couple of goals and securing all three points.
Rangers may also see the first appearance from Aaron Ramsey tomorrow following his deadline day move from Juventus and keeping the Welshman fit could be vital if we are aiming to retain the league title.
Three points are all that matters tomorrow.
Meanwhile, a Rangers player has been dealt a big blow just weeks following a recall from a loan spell.
