Rangers hero identifies one key area needing strengthened ahead of transfer deadline

Ally McCoist has identified a key area of the Rangers team that needs strengthened ahead of tonight's midnight deadline.

The Ibrox legend believes Giovanni van Bronckhorst needs to add to his forward line before the cut-off. Summer recruit Antonio Colak has made a stunning start to life with the Light Blues as he continues to bang in the goals.

Alfredo Morelos still has a key part to play this season with the Dutchman revealing he could already see a difference in the Colombian hitman. He was previously banished from the squad that travelled to face Dutch giants PSV in the Netherlands and secure Champions League group stage football for the Ibrox men.

The likes of Tom Lawrence, Rabbi Matondo, Ben Davies, Malik Tillman and Ridvan Yilmaz have all put pen to paper on deals this summer - but McCoist says they are still 'lightweight' up top and need further reinforcements.

He told talkSPORT: "They still look a little bit lightweight in forward areas. Gio wasn't happy with Morelos, understandably, it depends if he gets his attitude right.

"Colak has been doing the business and scoring the goals, but I think they're still light in forward areas."

Opening up on chat with Morelos, Van Bronckhorst said: "I had a good chat with him on Sunday. He had a good week to train, but also to think about his future.

"As I said before, he is still a Rangers player. I think he is going to be important for us in the next months and this season. I saw a change in his attitude, the way he worked.

"We have to keep working like this for the next coming months to be the player he can be - and a player who can give us a lot."
