Antonio Colak 'touch and go' for Rangers as Anthony Stewart in line for Morelos battle

Michael Beale admits Antonio Colak is "touch and go" for Rangers' Viaplay Cup semi-final with Aberdeen this weekend.

Colak has competed with Alfredo Morelos for the shirt up front this season and was given the nod ahead of the Colombian against Dundee United last weekend but went off with a knock at half-time. And Beale now reveals he's 50/50 on whether he will make it in time for the showdown at Hampden as they look to set up a final with either Celtic or Kilmarnock.

When asked for an injury update Beale said: "John Souttar trained all week and is ahead of schedule, this week is too soon and expect him around the squad for St Johnstone which is good news. Colak had a slight problem and is touch and go for this weekend. Roofe is ready to go, he is a really high-quality player."

That could be good news for Dons skipper Anthony Stewart who admitted he'd rather face Morelos if given the choice between the two. Stewart said: "For me, they are two completely different strikers.

"I do rate one better than the other, I would say that Colak is a better striker than Morelos, in my opinion. Just their whole round game. I've played against both of them and I can give my opinion on it. I analyse and watch both of their clips and I kind of know what sort of game to put up against them."
