GARY MCALLISTER is confident Alfredo Morelos will be ready and raring to go when he returns to action.
The striker has missed Rangers' last three games against Stranraer, St Mirren and Hearts through suspension.
Morelos is available for the visit of Ross County tonight and McAllister said: "Hopefully he’s got the message again. I honestly felt that the penny was dropping with him and then he’d two slips.
"But he is key. I can’t hide that fact. He’s a key player for the team and the tactics. Now we have two forwards.
"He’s itching to play. He’s been working hard to be honest. He’s been put through it as well. He’ll be ready."
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
