CHARLIE ADAM expects Alfredo Morelos to be dropped by Steven Gerrard once the likes of Kemar Roofe and Cedric Itten are up to speed.

The Colombian has started all of the Light Blues' Scottish Premiership matches this season, scoring two goals along the way.

But former Ibrox midfielder Adam hasn't been impressed with what he has seen and he reckons Morelos is a shadow of the player he was at the start of last term.

Speaking on Go Radio, he said: "I don’t think he’s giving the team what he did last season, and the only reason he’s in the team at the moment is the other lads aren’t up to speed.

"That Aberdeen game, I don’t think he would have played if he had Roofe in or if he had someone else in up to speed because his levels of sharpness isn’t there.

"That will come with games if he keeps playing, he scored against St Mirren so he obviously had to play against Livingston but he got dragged off again. How he walks off the pitch and never shook the manager’s hand and things like that.

"There has been bids, that’s something I do know. At the moment Rangers value him at close to £20m and why would you give up your asset if someone like a Dembele left to go to Lyon for big money, he’s your main man and he scored 50 odd goals in the last two seasons then get as much value as possible for him but if Rangers get the right money they’ll sell him."
