Charlie Nicholas urges radical Rangers endgame for Alfredo Morelos as he predicts Champions League nightmare

Charlie Nicholas has urged Rangers to start Alfredo Morelos against PSV - then do all they can to get rid of him.

The pundit reckons the Colombian striker's time is up at Ibrox following his weekend dismissal in the 2-2 draw with Hibs. Morelos was shown a straight red card by referee Willie Collum just minutes after emerging from the bench at Easter Road on Saturday.

The forward has largely cleaned up his act after gaining an unwanted reputation for disciplinary issues during Steven Gerrard's tenure. But Nicholas reckons his sending off in Leith should prove the final straw for Giovanni van Bronckhorst as he urged the Ibrox boss to cut his losses after a Champions League playoff second leg in the Netherlands. Nicholas wrote in his Scottish Daily Express column: " Rangers should start Alfredo Morelos against PSV tomorrow and then sell him before the transfer window closes next week.

"I would play him in the second leg of the Champions League play-off because if he does come up trumps then there's no better way to put himself in the shop window. That's the crazy thing about Morelos.

"He is always capable of doing something really good. But he is a risk and Rangers need to get rid of the Colombian striker while he remains a sellable asset.

"People have talked about Morelos being a £20million player. Maybe that was the case a couple of seasons ago but if Rangers could get £10m with add-ons they should take it.

"Somebody will sign him - perhaps a club in Spain like Real Betis or another team at a similar level from a decent European league. But Rangers need to get rid of Morelos.
