Alfredo Morelos in crutches as Rangers talisman supports team mates after surgery

Key Rangers star Alfredo Morelos has been spotted at Ibrox in crutches as he recovers from thigh surgery.

The Premiership champions were met with the hammer blow after March's international break that the striker would miss the rest of this campaign.

Giovanni van Bronckhorst's men are still competing for silverware on three fronts but must do so without their influential Colombian.

He watched on as his side look to make the Europa League 's semi-finals.

They'll meet RB Leipzig of Germany at that stage should they progress after their 3-1 aggregate win over Italian side Atalanta.

Morelos has scored four goals in their Euro campaign but Kemar Roofe is leading the line in his place, scoring a hat-trick in Sunday's 4-0 win over St Mirren.

TV cameras caught him in the tunnel pre-match as his teammates prepared for their huge European tie.

He'll no doubt be watching with interest this Sunday when Rangers meet Celtic in Scottish Cup semi-final action at Hampden.
