GARY MCALLISTER is confident Alfredo Morelos will be ready and raring to go when he returns to action.

The striker has missed Rangers' last three games against Stranraer, St Mirren and Hearts through suspension.

Morelos is available for the visit of Ross County tonight and McAllister said: "Hopefully he’s got the message again. I honestly felt that the penny was dropping with him and then he’d two slips.

"But he is key. I can’t hide that fact. He’s a key player for the team and the tactics. Now we have two forwards.

"He’s itching to play. He’s been working hard to be honest. He’s been put through it as well. He’ll be ready."
