The Rangers favourite has a big opportunity to impress at Ibrox this evening.
Morelos has won three caps for his country previously, but hasn’t been included in a squad since March, having missed out on the Copa America during the summer.
The Record say he has been included in a 37-man squad, which includes ten other strikers, such as Luis Sinisterra of Feyenoord, Luis Díaz of Porto and former Atletico Madrid stand-out Radamel Falcao.
Queiroz has yet to make a decision on his final squad for as-yet-announced matches, but that Morelos is included on the fringes is positive progress for the Rangers man.
Tonight now even bigger for the striker
Having already scored an impressive eight goals in UEFA Europa League qualifying already this season, Morelos has a massive opportunity tonight against Feyenoord.
He’ll now know that he is contention to be selected next month and scoring in the group stages proper could be the kind of evidence Queiroz needs to include the 23-year-old.
Obviously his biggest priority is helping Rangers to a win and three points, but if he can impress his national team manager in the process then it could unlock more chances with Colombia.
These are the nights he needs to perform on to make significant personal progression in his career. If he can make waves on the European scene, it’ll be a big step towards becoming the elite striker he wants to be.
