Alfredo Morelos will make his return for Ibrox side Glasgow Rangers tomorrow.
Steven Gerrard has revealed to Rangers TV that Alfredo Morelos is champing at the bit ahead of tomorrow’s Scottish Cup replay with Kilmarnock.
The Gers’ leading goalscorer has missed the past two games through suspension – both 0-0 draws – after being sent off against Aberdeen earlier this month.
Morelos, who has over 20 goals this season, still has one more match to serve of his suspension, but he will be available to face Killie at Ibrox tomorrow.
Gerrard told Rangers TV: “On the evidence of yesterday’s training session, yes [he’s champing at the bit] he looked very sharp. He doesn’t like missing football matches.
“It is a nice boost for everyone to have him back because the weekend’s performance, certainly in the final third, we didn’t show enough.
“You always miss Alfredo Morelos. The form he’s in, he’s obviously the leading scorer. He’s in incredible form.”
But will his return be enough for the light Blues?
Jermain Defoe cut a frustrated figure in the stalemate with St Johnstone last weekend and that is because there was virtually no service going into the legendary striker.
Morelos might have more facets to his game than Defoe, but he is, like any centre-forward, still somewhat reliant on service and if the likes of Daniel Candeias and Ryan Kent aren’t providing it then the Colombian could also struggle.
