Rangers striker Alfredo Morelos is set to miss next month's Old Firm clash after being recalled to the Colombia squad.

The 25-year old had been left out of squads following the Copa America in the summer but has now earned a recall from boss Reinaldo Rueda.

The national side take on Peru on January 28 before facing Argentina on February 1.

Giovanni van Bronckhorst's side travel to Celtic Park to take on their city rivals on February 2.

It is now almost certain Morelos will miss that game and should be ruled out for others due to his involvement with his country.

The Ibrox hitman has scored just one goal in 11 caps for Colombia but has rediscovered his form at club level.

Morelos has bagged six goals in nine matches since van Bronckhorst arrived in Glasgow.
