Heat is on Rangers strikers as Roy Makaay delivers teaching masterclass to those left

All for one and one for all. Rangers’ leading marksman may be absent but Fashion Sakala insists the club’s remaining three musketeers have the firepower to keep their title push on track.

The Scottish champions will be without top scorer and talismanic front man Alfredo Morelos for their next three Premiership fixtures against Livingston at Ibrox on Wednesday night, Ross County in Dingwall on Saturday and the Old Firm clash at Celtic Park next midweek.

While Morelos is on World Cup qualifying duty with Colombia, the onus will be on Sakala and his fellow forwards Kemar Roofe and Cedric Itten to help Rangers maintain or extend their four point lead over Celtic at the top of the table.

The Zambian international is confident that the collegiate approach they share can ensure they rise to the challenge.

“We are always there to push each other in training and games,” said Sakala. “Whether you are on the bench or starting, the good thing is we are always there to motivate and encourage each other.

“That’s what I like about us as a group of strikers. We don’t really do things as a competition, but we all try to work together and help the team.

“It’s very important for us to deliver against Livingston tomorrow. It’s always sad when some players are not part of the squad.

“We will miss him (Morelos) for sure, he is a special player for us. But we have to deliver. It is our time and we have to help the team and get the result.

“I think we are all ready and prepared for the game. We are all prepared to give the boss what he wants and to get the result that the fans want tomorrow. We are all ready for the fight.”

Sakala has scored six goals for Rangers since joining them from Oostende last summer, including one in the 3-1 win over
