'I've picked the players that looked focused' - Rangers boss Gerrard drops Morelos amid transfer talk

Steven Gerrard has admitted that he left out Alfredo Morelos from Rangers’ 2-0 win over Kilmarnock on Saturday because the striker was not “focused”.

The Colombia international has been a major source of transfer speculation this summer, with reports that he could move to Ligue 1 side Lille.

Although these appear to have stalled, Gerrard, who previously admitted that the 24-year-old had his head turned by such speculation, dropped the forward for Saturday’s Ibrox match, in which goals from Kemar Roofe and Ryan Kent cemented the Gers’ spot at the top of the Scottish standings.
