Aberdeen central defender Michael Devlin has suggested to The Herald that it will be tough for his teammates to keep Rangers striker Alfredo Morelos under check.

Morelos is likely to feature for Rangers in their Scottish Cup quarter-final tie against Aberdeen away from home on Sunday.

The 22-year-old is one of the best strikers in the Scottish Premiership and has been in brilliant form recently.

The Colombia international striker is likely to lead the line for Steven Gerrard’s Rangers against Aberdeen, and 25-year-old Aberdeen central defender Devlin believes that he will be a handful.

Devlin told The Herald about Morelos: “Morelos’s goals speak for themselves. We know that he’s a handful.

“We know he can cause problems if you don’t take care of him. Whatever defence is picked come Sunday will know they have a tough job of keeping him quiet.”

Stats

Morelos has made 23 starts and one substitute appearance in the Scottish Premiership for Rangers so far this season, scoring 16 goals in the process, according to WhoScored.

The Colombian striker scored against Dundee at Ibrox in the Scottish Premiership on Wednesday evening and four goals against Kilmarnock at home in the Scottish Cup fifth-round replay.

Rangers are second in the Scottish Premiership table at the moment with 58 points from 28 matches, eight points behind leaders and bitter Old Firm rivals Celtic.
