Glasgow Rangers striker Alfredo Morelos linked with move away.
Glasgow Rangers loanee Russell Martin has praised the attitude of striker Alfredo Morelos.
Morelos has been the subject of transfer speculation from Chinese clubs, and this is not yet going away with the transfer window in the Far East still open.
The Colombian striker may not have scored at the weekend in the defeat to Hibernian, but Morelos is doing just fine, according to his new teammate.
Martin told Herald Scotland: “He didn’t get the goal that he or we would have liked, but he has been fine. He is a good lad. He is quite bubbly and lively. There has been no difference in him.
“If his attitude was wrong and the training pitch and he had been sulking about then of course there would be a need to pull him aside and have a chat, but he hasn’t been like that at all so I don’t think there’s been a need to really.”
Positives
Martin’s comments have to be taken as a positive for Rangers and suggest Morelos will not be making any bad calls like going on strike in order to try and force a switch.
He has not even been at Rangers a year and at 21-years-old, still has a lot of experience to gain.
Moving to China at this stage of his career could be a mistake as it will set back his future options in European football.
Rangers will not be able to go and buy a replacements as their transfer window is closed, and letting Morelos leave would send the message to the team and supporters that the club is writing off this season as a failure.
