Alfredo Morelos has been left out of Rangers’ squad for their Champions League play-off second-leg against PSV Eindhoven.
Rangers boss Giovanni van Bronckhorst made the decision following various concerns including the strikers’ fitness levels and attitude over the early stages of this season.
Sky Sports News understands Van Bronckhorst consulted various senior players within the squad, who all unanimously backed the decision.
Morelos was sent off 13 minutes after coming on as a substitute at Easter Road on Saturday, however, that incident is not the sole reason behind this move.
