RANGERS striker Alfredo Morelos has been completely left out of Colombia's squad to face Peru tonight.
The Ibrox forward has been snubbed for selection either in the starting XI or on the subs bench after being brought back into the international fold.
Morelos was recalled to the national side with key striker Duvan Zupata out but will not play any part in tonight's qualifier against Peru.
Instead, Radamel Falcao and Rafael Santos Borre have been given the starting spots in the team.
It's a disappointing scenario for the 25-year-old and Rangers boss Giovanni van Bronckhorst with the player missing some key matches due to international selection.
Morelos wasn't involved in either of Rangers' wins over Stirling Albion or Livingston and he'll also be missing against Ross County tomorrow and for the trip to Celtic next week.
Colombia are competing in 2022 World Cup qualifying and will face Argentina on Tuesday in their next match.
It gives another opportunity for Morelos to be involved in international action while absent from club football.
And despite his snub from the matchday squad, Morelos was pictured with his team-mates heading to the match tonight.
