STEVEN GERRARD has suggested it will be down to Alfredo Morelos and his agent to decide if he has a long-term future at Rangers.
The Colombian has been the focus of transfer speculation all summer but was back on the scoresheet on Thursday night as he notched up his 20th European goal for the Ibrox club with a double in their 5-0 win over Gibraltar's Lincoln Red Imps.
Asked if the 24-year-old might still be a Rangers player by the time the transfer window shuts in October, Gerrard said: "Of course there is still a possibility because no-one knows what's going to happen in the coming days and weeks. I said a few weeks back that in my situation you just take each day as it comes.
"The good thing is Alfredo is playing well, he's in much better shape, he's looking sharper, he's scoring goals. And he's looking happy, so we just take it day by day.
"I think that's a question for Alfredo and his representation to answer, rather than myself."
Gerrard, who takes his team to Easter Road to face Hibernian on Sunday, added: "But, for me, at the moment he is fit, he's available.
"It was fantastic to see him pull through. Alfredo is somebody who will put his body on the line for the club and he showed that last night by playing with the injury he sustained at the weekend.
"He hasn't mentioned it since, so he will have a rest day and be available for the weekend."
