GIOVANNI van Bronckhorst has revealed Alfredo Morelos is "very positive" about signing a new contract at Rangers.

The striker - who is regaining his fitness after thigh surgery last season - is into the final twelve months of his current Ibrox deal.

But Van Bronckhorst today delivered a huge update on his Ibrox future as he explained talks are ongoing with Morelos receptive to discussions on an extended deal.

Morelos took part in an open training session at Ibrox this morning before Van Bronckhorst confirmed discussions over his future.

Revealing the bombshell news of "very positive" talks over a new contract, Van Bronckhorst told Sky Sports News:Ā "The other issue if the contract he has.

"He is very positive about signing a new contract.

"We are doing our best to get Morelos signed to a new contract.

"Hopefully in the next coming weeks we will sort it out but still the talks are ongoing."

And on Morelos' return to first-team training, Van Bronckhorst added: "I am only looking for his physical fitness at the moment. He has been out for a long time but working really hard to get back to the levels he has to be to perform in games."
