Friday 9 March 2018 20:56, UK
Rangers striker Alfredo Morelos has committed his future to the club by signing a one-year contract extension.
The 21-year-old Colombian joined the club on a three-year contract last summer from HJK Helsinki and has made a fine impression so far, scoring 17 goals in all competitions.
He was linked with a move to China in January but stayed with Rangers and has now given them a further boost ahead of Sunday's Old Firm game, which is live on Sky Sports, by signing a new contract.

Morelos said: "I am very happy to have signed a new contract with Rangers.
"I know how important the club is in Scotland, how many titles that it has won, and how much history that it has.
"I am really happy here and I am working hard for the team.
"I love it when the fans show their support to me and sing to me. I'm really grateful for their support and want to repay them with performances on the pitch."
Rangers boss Graeme Murty said: "We are delighted that Alfredo has committed his future to the club today.
"He is a very talented player and one that we know we can work with, to make even better.
"He has a massive opportunity at this club and we feel that he can continue to improve and even realise his international ambitions here at Rangers - and help the club to challenge for silverware."
