Alfredo Morelos sends Rangers message on transfer deadline day after summer of speculation

Rangers star Alfredo Morelos has sent a message to supporters on transfer deadline day after a summer of speculation.

Many expected the Colombian striker to exit Ibrox but he's shared an image that clearly shows he is still happy at Rangers and wants to keep playing for the club.

Morelos was the subject of interest from Porto this summer but they were never likely to reach the transfer fee that Rangers wanted for their star man.

El Bufalo was previously the subject of a £16m bid from Lille last summer that Rangers rejected and Morelos knuckled down to help his side win the league.

Morelos has spoken about his love for Rangers and Steven Gerrard but has also regularly spoken about his wish to test himself at a higher level.

And after a summer of being away with Colombia at the Copa America, it could have been expected that clubs would attempt to sign him given his scoring record domestically and in Europe for the Ibrox club.

But he took to Instagram to show he was still happy at the club by sharing a picture of himself before Sunday's win over Celtic with a simple smile as the caption.

Morelos played 83 minutes of Sunday's win over Celtic and also shared an image on his story of him celebrating with Filip Helander following the Sweden defender's goal.

That was captioned with: "We've done it again" in reference to the win being Rangers' seventh game in a row without a defeat against their old rivals.
