Giovanni van Bronckhorst has given his strongest hint yet that Alfredo Morelos has a major part to play in Rangers' season. The Colombian hitman was summoned for talks with the Light Blues gaffer after he was left out of the travelling squad to face PSV in the crucial Champions League play-off clash in the Netherlands due to various concerns including fitness levels and his attitude in the early part of the campaign.
Just hours after being left out of the trip the striker was snapped at the gym and has continued to work hard behind the scenes with the Dutchman revealing he has already noticed a change in his attitude and his work levels.
His contract has less than 12 months to run with speculation over his long-term future a main talking point following the flashpoint last week.
However, Van Bronckhorst has opened up on his talks with Morelos and says he will be 'important' to Rangers in the months ahead as they bid to recapture the Premiership title from Celtic and make a splash in the Champions League.
