The Buffalo and Thetiger are set to join forcces
Colombia boss, Carlos Queiroz, admits he can’t wait to team up Rangers striker, Alfredo Morelos, with Radamel Falcao for next month’s World Cup qualifiers.
The South American nation face a double- header with Chile and Venezuela, and the Ibrox hit- man is a certainty to be named in his squad.
And manager Queiroz – who was an assistant to Sir Alex Ferguson during his star-studded career – is looking forward to pairing up Morelos with the all- time top scorer in Colombian international history.
“The Buffalo” and Falcao – nicknamed “The Tiger” – are also due to face off on Thursday night in the Europa League playoff clash between Rangers and Galatasaray at Ibrox.
Queiroz said: “We have had some outstanding starts to the season from our players in Europe.
“I’m talking about Radamel Falcao, Alfredo Morelos and James Rodriguez in particular.
“The return of our captain Falcao is great for us, and it will be interesting to see him with Morelos.
“I’m excited about my selection, and this squad has a lot of players who have been in good form.
“After so long without a game we have many reasons to be optimistic about the future. The World Cup group is always difficult, though.
“Brazil and Argentina are always strong, of course, but Chile, Uruguay, Ecuador, Peru, Venezuela, Paraguay and Bolivia mean we can’t afford to relax for a second.”
Morelos has won seven caps for his country and scored once, in a friendly last year against Peru.
