Rangers squad revealed as Alfredo Morelos return gives Steven Gerrard striker dilemma

Steven Gerrard will be boosted as Alfredo Morelos will rejoin the Rangers squad for Wednesday's trip to St Johnstone.

The striker has completed a two-game ban he received for his forearm smash on Mark Connolly in the 2-1 win over Dundee United earlier in the month.

It remains to be seen whether the Colombian will come straight back into the team given the form of Kemar Roofe and Cedric Itten in his absence.

Both were on target in Rangers ' 3-1 win over Motherwell on Saturday.

Midfielder Ryan Jack will again be absent at McDiarmid Park but Steven Gerrard hopes to welcome the Scotland international back for the Boxing Day visit of Hibernian to Ibrox.

Leon Balogun's involvement against Saints is still to be confirmed after he sat out Saturday's win over Motherwell with concussion.

George Edmundson and Jordan Jones are serving the final game of their coronavirus breach bans while long-term casualty Nikola Katic has been allowed to return home to Croatia for Christmas.

Saints captain Jason Kerr is suspended for the visit of the Ibrox men.

The defender was sent off in the 3-2 defeat by St Mirren in Paisley at the weekend.

Forward Michael O'Halloran is working his way back to fitness following a hip injury.
