Ibrox side Glasgow Rangers are set to take on Celtic on Saturday.

Celtic boss Brendan Rodgers has admitted to the Daily Record that Glasgow Rangers striker Alfredo Morelos appears to have the capabilities to score frequently in Scotland.

Morelos has impressed in his initial few months at Rangers, and looks to be Pedro Caixinha’s side’s main scoring threat.

And Rodgers’ admits that he has been impressed by Morelos’ start to life at Ibrox.

“They have signed a couple of players that wouldn’t be so known to many, but Alfredo Morelos looks like a finisher in the box and can get his goals,” Rodgers said, when discussing the quality of Rangers’ team.

Morelos has scored six goals in his first six Scottish Premiership appearances, and his performances have raised eyebrows.

Rodgers will have to be on his guard to protect against Morelos’ threat, as Celtic are due to meet Rangers in the Old-Firm derby this weekend.

Rangers failed to beat Celtic at all last season, but they have shown signs of improvement this time around.

If Rangers are able to beat the Bhoys on Saturday, they will move to within two points of Rodgers’ side.
