STEVEN GERRARD is encouraged by the unpredictability of his free-flowing Rangers forward line this term.
The Gers extended their advantage over Celtic in the Premiership title race to 11 points with a 4-0 win over Aberdeen on Sunday.
Ryan Kent and Kemar Roofe netted in the first half, while Jermain Defoe and Cedric Itten came off the bench at Ibrox as Scott Arfield and James Tavernier also scored.
And Gerrard is delighted with the attacking options that he has at his disposal after another incisive performance from the league leaders.
He said: "They are all important but today I was really interested to see the relationship between Alfredo (Morelos) and Kemar. To see how they played together.
"We saw it a few weeks ago with JD and Kemar, their understanding and relationship.
"It’s important that Alfredo gets that relationship with Kemar as well.
"It’s very difficult to play against because they can come short or go in behind, or come off the side as well. We have No.8s who can go beyond them.
"We want to give opposition teams as many problems as we can because at times in the past we have come unstuck by maybe playing in front of teams too much, being a little bit predictable and maybe not having enough answers. I’m really pleased how we are looking."
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
