Michael Beale offers Rangers clarity on Alfredo Morelos, Ryan Kent and Malik Tillman

Michael Beale has issued a clarity message amid the uncertainty surrounding key players Alfredo Morelos, Ryan Kent and Malik Tillman.

Morelos and Kent are out of contract in the summer, meaning they are currently free to speak to clubs regarding pre-contract agreements.

Tillman is on-loan at Ibrox from Bayern Munich, but a fee has been agreed to make the deal permanent come the end of the current campaign. 

Asked about the trio, Beale said today: "I have a bit more clarity than what I can give out, obviously. It is a bit like in the transfer window when you guys are saying I am contradicting myself.

"I can only say so much. At the moment those three guys are playing fantastically well along with Fashion and it is hard for the other attackers because they have been relentless in terms of goals, assists and the chances they are making.

"I like all three of them a lot. I think they know that. Things are really calm at the moment but what I would say, if the three of them weren’t there then I think we are able to play without them at the moment.

"We have Todd Cantwell, Nicolas Raskin, Tom Lawrence, Kemar Roofe, Antonio Colak. We seem in quite a good place at the moment."

On Morelos specifically, Beale added: "He is just playing regularly and enjoying his football. We are creating a lot of chances. I think he could probably have a few more goals if I'm honest and that has probably driven him.

"That's two away at Kilmarnock and then two away at Hearts in the last couple of difficult away games. I'm over the moon with Alfredo at the moment, he's no bother to me around the building. So far, so good.

"Antonio is waiting on the sidelines, he's not 100 per cent fit but it's difficult when a centre-forward is in such good form - it's not really an area you would voluntarily rotate so it's difficult for Tony. Earlier in the season the reverse was true and Tony was scoring a lot so it is a good place to be in."
