Alfredo Morelos sets Rangers target as striker aims to surpass Celtic legend Henrik Larsson

Rangers striker Alfredo Morelos has set out his ambition to become the Europa League's all-time top goalscorer - beating Celtic legend Henrik Larsson in the process.

"What I experienced with Steven Gerrard was something very nice, he trusted me a lot.

"He gave me the opportunity to always be in the starting line-up and I responded in the best way possible. We had a nice relationship that I hope will continue.

"I learned many things from him and I continue to use what he taught me."

That led to his agent, Michael Gorman, criticising Rueda by stating: "Remember when the Colombia national team manager decided to use
