Pundit says there is no quick fix for Rangers ace if he leaves Ibrox.

Rangers striker Alfredo Morelos has shown his good and bad traits this season, sent off three times and scoring 17 goals.

The Colombian forward has frustrated Rangers supporters and missed the Scottish League Cup semi-final after picking up too many bookings in the earlier rounds.

Rangers rejected transfer interest in Morelos from Bordeaux in the summer and former Gers manager and striker Ally McCoist has admitted the club could face a tricky decision over his future.

McCoist was speaking on BT Sport‘s Scottish Football Extra on Friday night (14/12 6.45pm).

He was asked what he would do if Rangers received a big money offer for Morelos in January.

McCoist did not offer a certain response one way or another, instead focusing on how difficult the decision would be.

He went on to warn Morelos that his disciplinary issues are likely to follow him even if he leaves Ibrox.

McCoist said: “It’s a tough one, depends where you are in league as well. Just a couple points away from Celtic, its a massive decision.

“It’s clear you can’t 100 per cent trust him. The sending off against Hearts was ridiculous for me.

“You get characters, we’ve all played with them, they just don’t handle situations where they feel there’s an injustice against then.

“Its a problem he will have to get sorted out for the rest of his career whether he is at Rangers or not.”

Rangers currently sit in second place, two points behind Celtic, but the league leaders have a game in hand.
