Rangers striker Alfredo Morelos has told The Scottish Sun that he wants to play well against Celtic at Ibrox in May.

Morelos was sent off for Rangers in the Old Firm derby against Celtic away from home at Celtic Park last month.

The Colombia international striker is now serving a four-match ban, and the 22-year-old will be available for Steven Gerrard’s side’s final three games of the 2018-19 Scottish Premiership campaign.

Morelos has outlined his target once he is back from suspension, and the Rangers striker has made it clear that he wants to make an impact against Celtic.

Morelos told The Scottish Sun: “My target is to be the top scorer in the league this season and to play well in my next three games. One of those is against Celtic, which is going to be very important for me.

“I hope to play well and to keep going and finish the season well. It has been a good season for me and I want to continue to do things right in the games that are left.”

Scoring against Celtic

Morelos is one of the best strikers in the Scottish Premiership and is arguably Rangers’ best player, but the Colombia international has not scored against Celtic so far in his career.

The youngster should be trying to break his duck against the Hoops, and playing at Ibrox could help.

Morelos, though, need to keep his cool against Celtic and must not get himself sent off for any silly reasons.
