Alfredo Morelos dropped from Rangers' crucial Champions League clash

Rangers Alfredo Morelos celebrates scoring their sides second goal during the UEFA Europa League round of sixteen first leg match at Ibrox Stadium, Glasgow.

Alfredo Morelos has been dropped from Rangers' crucial Champions League play-off tie against PSV Eindhoven on Wednesday night because of fitness and attitude concerns.

The Colombian striker has been reportedly left out of the squad for the second leg in Holland by Gers boss Giovanni van Bronckhorst, and talks of a new deal are on hold.
The Dutch boss' decision to leave out Morelos has been supported by various senior players within the Gers squad.
The 26-year-old, who recently returned to the squad following a long spell on the sidelines following a thigh injury, was sent off 13 minutes after coming on as substitute in the 2-2 draw with Hibernian in the cinch Premiership at Easter Road on Saturday.
Rangers are looking to take the final step towards the Champions League for the first time since the 2010/11 season, although last season's Europa League finalists have a lot of work to do following a 2-2 draw with PSV at Ibrox.
Van Bronckhorst will once again go with summer signing Antonio Colak as his main attacker in the Netherlands.
The Croatia striker has scored four goals in his last five games and has kept Morelos on the bench.
