Rangers squad revealed as Alfredo Morelos could make return against Hibs after serving suspension

Rangers top goalscorer Alfredo Morelos is available for Steven Gerrard's side on Sunday as they host Hibernian at Ibrox.

The 29-goal Colombian was handed a four-match ban after elbowing Scott Brown in the 2-1 loss at Celtic on March 31.

Jermain Defoe played through hamstring trouble last week, but put in a man of the match performance to help his side ease past Aberdeen 2-0 on Sunday.

It could give Rangers a selection headache up front, as Gerrard considers who to start against the Edinburgh outfit.

Midfielder Ryan Jack (throat infection) is a doubt while Gareth McAuley will not play again this season after injuring his hamstring. Graham Dorrans (knee) is still chasing fitness but Jamie Murphy (knee) will have to wait until next campaign for his own comeback.

Gerrard said: "People are pushing for places all over the team, if you play well you deserve to keep the shirt unless we have a busy schedule and we need to manage players.

"Alfredo is one who doesn't hide it well when he is suspended as he loves playing football, I'm sure he has learnt a lot in the last few weeks and hopefully we see that for the remainder of the season if and when he is given an opportunity.
