Rangers striker Alfredo Morelos’ level of fitness isn’t at a level where he can operate at the elite level of the game according to Neil McCann.

The pundit reckons his new manager Giovanni van Bronckhorst will have to work hard on getting the Colombian to realise what sacrifices have to be made to reach the top.

The comments came after a poor Morelos performance against Hibs that included a gilt-edged chance missed in the first half after he was picked out by a delicious Joe Aribo cross.

And McCann couldn’t hide his dissatisfaction with the finish before addressing the player’s wider issues.

He told the BBC: "He should be at least working the goalkeeper.

"I am surprised that it is [Chris] Cadden and [Martin] Boyle who are the two closest to him with one striker in the box so that would concern Jack Ross.

"It is a brilliant ball from [Joe] Aribo. A brilliant ball into the box. It is picked out and he just gets it all wrong.

"Listen, Alfredo Morelos has been off it all season for me.

"I think he really needs to find a level of fitness that will allow him to operate at the top level and I don't think he is doing that yet.

"I think Gio needs to get that into his head that he needs to improve in order for him to come back and be a lethal goal scorer, which we all know he can be.

"But that is a really good opportunity and it might have been the only clear-cut opportunity of the game. We were unknown of that fact but he didn't take it. He never hit the target.

"I think [Kemar] Roofe has a legitimate claim to say he should be starting or Fashion Sakala."
