Alfredo Morelos Rangers heroics rewarded as he's given big UEFA shout-out

Rangers striker Alfredo Morelos has been included in the Europa League team of the week after his brace against Feyenoord.

The Colombian took his record to 13 for the season with a double in Rotterdam, beating the record set by Henrik Larsson .

Morelos has risen from eighth to third in the UEFA power rankings as a result, and has also been named in the team of the week.

Both strikers come from Group G, with El Bufalo partnering Porto 's Vincent Aboubakar up-front.

Other players to make the list include Lorenzo Pellegrini of Roma and Borussia Monchengladbach goalkeeper Yann Sommer.

Gers manager Steven Gerrard said this week that the club wouldn't sell Morelos even for £50m and felt his performance in the Netherlands underlined that stance.

He said after the match: "Do you believe me now? He’s not for sale. He’s not for sale at any price.

“If you give the Buff the kind of service we did in the second half he’ll get you goals, it’s a simple as that."

Europa League team of the week: Sommer, Erkin, Merkis, Roco, Nuno Sequeira, Tsygankov, Bruno Fernandes, Pellegrini, Verbic, Morelos Aboubakar
