Alfredo Morelos providing Rangers selection headache as Giovanni van Bronckhorst gives insight into rejuvenated striker

Alfredo Morelos providing Rangers selection headache as Giovanni van Bronckhorst gives insight into rejuvenated striker

GIOVANNI VAN BRONCKHORST has revealed that Alfredo Morelos has given him a selection headache ahead of tomorrow's Champions League clash with Napoli.

The Colombian was left out of Rangers' squad for their qualifier against PSV due to physical and attitude concerns.

Since then Morelos has bounced back and has been involved, albeit from the substitutes bench.

Antonio Colak has been the preferred choice in the striker role, but van Bronckhorst insists Morelos is giving him something to think about.

He said: "Alfredo (Morelos) is in a good place mentally and physically, he is training really well and I have had a good conversation with him. He is in a far better place and makes it difficult for me to decide on my starting team."

Rangers take on Napoli in matchday two of the Champions League tomorrow at Ibrox and van Bronckhorst is expecting a tough test.

He added: "We have faced heavy defeats and we have talked about it and learned from it, now is the chance tomorrow to get a good result at our home.

"At Rangers, we know two defeats in a row are unacceptable. We go out tomorrow to win with our philosophy.

"Napoli are a very strong team. We know the challenge we have against a very good team but we are very well prepared."
