Morelos set for Gers exit, says Halliday

- BY RONNIE ESPLIN

ANDY Halliday admits he fears that Alfredo Morelos is on his way out of Ibrox.

Halliday was “shocked” to hear Morelos had been dropped for Saturday’s 2-0 win over Kilmarnock because of his attitude in training.

The Colombian striker (below) appears to have his heart set on a move with suitors Lille having so far failed to meet Rangers’ valuation.

Halliday — who left the club in the summer — said: “He’s no stranger to speculatio­n and rumours but it does have a different feeling to it right now.

“The fact the manager has completely dropped him out the squad, it does have that feeling that his Rangers days are numbered.”

When asked what Morelos was like as a team-mate, Halliday said: “He’s a character. He’s full of carry-on but that’s his nature.

“The fact the manager has said that, I don’t know what his attitude has been in training the past week. Maybe he is trying to play his cards to force his way out of Rangers? I’m not too sure.

“But the most important thing for Rangers is that they get this resolved as soon as possible because you don’t want an unhappy player causing unrest in the dressing room.

“He was someone who would brighten up your day and when it came to training he was nothing but 100 per cent effort.

“He was extremely popular within the group but there’s a different feel to it now and if they feel they are not getting the best out of Alfredo, then I’m sure they will be happy with whatever is best for Rangers.”
