Alfredo Morelos has a big season ahead of him with Ibrox side Glasgow Rangers.
Kris Boyd has told Herald Scotland that he reckons Alfredo Morelos could hit as many as 25 goals for Rangers this season.
The 22-year-old has been in fantastic form as of late and broke his duck in the Scottish Premiership last weekend by scoring in the 2-0 win over St Mirren.
In doing so, the Colombian, who has two goals in Europa League qualifying, took his tally for the season to three in all competitions already.
Morelos netted 18 in all competitions for Rangers last season following a £1 million move from HJK Helsinki.
But Gers legend Boyd can see some good things in the young hitman and reckons he can get over the 20-goal mark this time around.
He told Herald Scotland: “Morelos is definitely someone who brings something to Rangers. He can be a handful and the big thing is that he’s still only 22 and will improve.
“As it stands I don’t think he’ll worry about not having a partner. The most important thing for him is that he’s playing.
“If he ignores defenders and concentrates on what he needs to do, I’m sure he can get close to that 20-25 goal target.”
After losing Josh Windass, it is imperative that Morelos has another brilliant season for Rangers.
The goalscoring burden is now firmly on him and it’s vital for Steven Gerrard’s side that he rises to the challenge.
Windass was Rangers’ joint-top goalscorer last time around with Morelos, but time will tell whether the South American can vindicate Boyd’s faith and score between 20 and 25 goals.
