Michael Beale hopeful Alfredo Morelos will be fit for Sunday's Glasgow derby with Celtic at Ibrox

Michael Beale hopes Alfredo Morelos is declared fit for the Glasgow derby after the Gers striker limped off in the 3-0 cinch Premiership win over Motherwell at Ibrox.

The Colombia international scored in the 13th minute with a header before defender Connor Goldson's counter after 38 minute with midfielder Malik Tillman adding a third after the break before Morelos had to come off.

Strikers Kemar Roofe and Antonio Colak were both available again, but were not in the squad although they may be called upon for the visit of league leaders Celtic on 2 January.

Beale, who has won all four games as Gers boss, said: "We had a bit of a red flag after the Aberdeen game, to be fair. He was due to come off just as we scored the third goal, because he felt some tightness in his hamstring.

"So obviously he missed the Ross County game, only came on for the last 30 minutes and felt fine, so we started him tonight.

"I believe it’s tightness. So hopefully he’s come off at the right time before it’s anything bigger.

"They’re both fit to go. They’re physically fit, in terms of training. But whether they’ve got 90 minutes in them at this moment in time, you would probably say no. So it’s good to have them back.

"If Alfredo is not ready, they will share the minutes and play. I think it’s important that they are back for us.

"I think Antonio and Kemar only need a moment to change the game so it is nice to have them. Ideally it would be off the bench."

Despite 12 points from 12 as Gers boss, Beale is still not happy with performances.

"It’s three points, a clean sheet, that was it; we were
