Alfredo Morelos poised for Colombia call-up ahead of Rangers vs Celtic clash

Alfredo Morelos looks set for a Colombia call-up for two games immediately before Rangers vs Celtic.

The Gers star has been pre-selected for the World Cup qualifier double header against Bolivia and Venezuela, according to reports in his homeland.

Rangers fans were left frustrated when Morelos went on international duty in January.

The talismanic striker missed the Old Firm defeat to Celtic and he didn't even play one minute for his country.

Colombia manager Rueda's decision not to play Morelos drew criticism from his then agent Michael Gorman.

While Morelos won't miss any games this time around, he's set to return just before Rangers' crucial clash with Celtic on April 3.

Colombia travel to play Venezuela on Wednesday, March 30 at 12:30am.

The game will finish in the early hours and Morelos also faces a ten-hour flight back to Scotland.
