Alfredo Morelos is an injury concern for Micky Beale ahead of Monday’s match against Celtic.
The Colombian was the only fit striker available to the Ibrox boss for last night’s win over Motherwell but had to be replaced in the 69th minute with a tight hamstring.
After 66 minutes Beale made four substitutions but three minutes later he was forced into another change with Morelos needing treatment on the pitch before he was taken off and replaced by Rabbi Matondo.
Speaking after the 3-0 win, the Ibrox boss told The Sun:
We had a bit of a red flag after the Aberdeen game, to be fair. Alfredo was due to come off just as we scored the third goal, because he felt some tightness in his hamstring.
So obviously he missed the Ross County game, only came on for the last 30 minutes, came on and felt fine, so we started him tonight.
I believe it’s tightness. So hopefully he’s come off at the right time before it’s anything bigger. He’s had to go to the well because we’ve had very limited options there with Kemar and Antonio out.
Roofe and Colak haven’t played since before the World Cup break with the former Leeds striker only managing two substitute appearances this season.
Hamstring and other muscle injuries have to be treated very carefully but with five replacements allowed from nine substitutes it does allow a small element of risk to be taken with injuries.
Greg Taylor was taken off after 64 minutes of Celtic’s win over Hibs with what appeared to be a thigh related injury.
Did Mr Bean not tell people just the other week he was putting players on the park not fully fit and carrying injuries,well FATSO was the outcome of that scenario last night.
So just who else was thrown in still not fully fit,Davies and Goldson at the back must be at least 2 of them,get Maeda and Kyogo to run at them full pace.
A tight hamstring ,yeah right ! It was probably hunger pangs… Forget the shower ,or the warm down ! Big Alfoodo needed a scooby snack ..
Here we go again i remember slippy g nearly every derby their was a concern for this player and that player and guess what they played the players that was supposed to be injured now this dickheed is saying the same as slippy g shower of scumbags at cheating liebrox so they are rats..
If he’s pulled a hamstring, he’s probably ate it.
