Alfredo Morelos shares cryptic Rangers transfer message ahead of Ibrox exit

Alfredo Morelos has shared a cryptic transfer clue amid growing speculation that he will leave Rangers this summer.

The Colombian striker is out of contract come the end of the season and is widely expected to exit the Scottish Premiership.

Morelos last night shared a picture of himself in his Rangers kit with the message "Siempre de tu manos mi dios."

This translates in English as "Always in your hands my god."

The post comes after a similar message last week, which read "It's better not to talk."

Michael Beale has openly admitted that is very unlikely hat Morelos will be at the club beyond this season, but he recently praised the striker for his attitude in training.

"Every single day he trained. He's had some bumps and bruises and at times I'd say to him, you know, you can have a day off training today. But he's not that type of boy," he said of Morelos.

"He wants to train all the time. He wants to play all the time. He's always fit and ready to go. He's not at the level of the Alfredo that we know he can be. But he's still scoring goals. 

"He's working hard for the team. So that's all you can ask for. We've had a lot of players missing and Alfredo stood up for the team and played when he had one or two issues himself. So that's all I can ask for from him."

Meanwhile, Beale believes recent radical change at executive level at Rangers will stabilise the club.

Rangers announced earlier in the week that managing director Stewart Robertson wil leave in the summer, with the board appointing commercial and marketing director James Bisgrove as the club’s new chief executive officer.

Douglas Park stood down as chairman earlier in the month to be replaced by John Bennett and there was also the recent departure of sporting director Ross Wilson, who joined Nottingham Forest as chief football officer.

On the revamp Beale said: “Boardroom stability will take place now, won’t it? Because John’s obviously taking over the chairmanship from Douglas.

“That’s someone who did an excellent job handing over to his vice-chairman who’s going to come in with his energy and ideas and there’s been a couple of changes in terms of Ross going out and then Stewart leaving in the summer and James stepping up so there will be stability.

“In terms of the manager position, that will come down to how well I do with this squad and through recruitment and the start of next season and how we finish the end of this season.

“I think we’re here for our fans. It’s important our fans feel that the team’s moving in the right direction and that will determine whether a coach stays but in terms of the infrastructure in the club, I think the club’s infrastructure is really strong.

“If I consider the time when I came into the club first time round to now, the club’s in a completely different place.”
