Graeme Murty’s Glasgow Rangers will face Brendan Rodgers’s Celtic at Ibrox in the Old Firm derby on Sunday, and Gers striker Alfredo Morelos could start.
It has been reported that although Morelos missed training on Tuesday with a tight hamstring, the Colombian striker was back in training on Thursday.
It has been claimed that Rangers boss Murty is confident that the 21-year-old 2017 summer signing will feature against Celtic in the Scottish Premiership game on Sunday.
However, according to The Scottish Sun, Russell Martin is a major doubt for Rangers due to a back injury.
It has been reported that the 32-year-old defender, signed on loan from Norwich City in the Championship in England in the January transfer window, did not particulate in Thursday’s training.
Boss for Rangers
Martin is a good defender, but Rangers do have played to replace him in the starting lineup, such as Portugal international centre-back Bruno Alves.
The boost to the fitness of Morelos, though, is massive for Rangers, as the Colombian is one of the best strikers in the Scottish Premiership.
For the Gers to win against Celtic, the Colombian striker has to start and be on top of his game.
