Alfredo Morelos in Colombia boost as Rangers star makes final squad for double header

Alfredo Morelos has been named in the Colombia squad for their double header against Peru and Ecuador later this month.

Carlos Queiroz included the Rangers striker in his 34-man provisional squad last week for the upcoming friendlies.

And the Ibrox star has made cut for his final 23-man squad thanks to a blistering start to the season.

Both matches are set to take place in America with the first in Miami and the second in New Jersey on November 15 and 19.

The 23-year-old played twice for his national side during last September's fixtures against Chile and Algeria.

Morelos will be hoping to get a taste of more action but faces stiff competition as forwards Luis Muriel, Steven Mendoza, Róger Martínez, Luis Díaz and James Rodriguez have all been called up alongside the Light Blues attacker.

Morelos helped Steven Gerrard's men reach the Betfred Cup final at the weekend as he bagged a brace against Hearts at Hampden.

That means the talisman has now reached 20 goals for the season as he continues to impress for Rangers.
