Celtic legend Sir Kenny Dalglish has suggested in The Sunday Post that Rangers manager Steven Gerrard will be pleased with reported interest in Ibrox striker Alfredo Morelos.

Morelos is one of the best strikers in the Scottish Premiership and has been playing well for Rangers so far this season.

The 22-year-old Colombia international striker was linked with a move away from Rangers in the summer transfer window, with Turkish Football reporting in July that the Gers had turned down an offer for the youngster from Turkish giants Fenerbahce.

In January 2018, Sky Sports reported that Beijing Renhe had made an offer of £7 million for Morelos, who joined Rangers from HJK Helsinki in the summer of 2017 for a transfer fee reported by Sky Sports to be worth £1.5 million.

Celtic legend Dalglish has suggested that it is nice for Rangers that they can at least consider the option of selling Morelos – who has scored four goals and provided five assists in nine Scottish Premiership appearances so far this season, according to Transfermarkt.co.uk.

Dalglish wrote about Morelos in The Sunday Post: “I’m not going to speculate how much any Rangers player might be worth, or what kind of bids they might receive in the future.

“But it certainly does your bargaining power no harm if clubs from England or abroad are showing an interest in the likes of James Tavernier or Alfredo Morelos.

“Morelos really does have good potential – as long as he keeps to the rules on the park. He is of no value sitting in the stand.

“That said, I’m sure Steven Gerrard will want to keep all of his best players at Ibrox. But it may not be harmful to have things to consider. It’s nice to have options.”
