ARTHUR NUMAN has taken aim at Rangers duo Ryan Kent and Alfredo Morelos insisting that the pair need to show more.

Both have been key performers for the Ibrox club in recent seasons, but this term they have failed to hit the heights expected.

Kent and Morelos are also out of contract in the summer meaning they are free to speak to other clubs in January.

And Numan hopes that the signs are not that they are downing tools early.

Writing in his 5Stars column, he said: “Frankly, I want to see more from the squad. I don't think they have been producing the goods often enough this season.

“Ryan Kent played very well against Hearts. He looked like his old self, showing excellent close control and dribbling past opposition players. He should be doing that every week. Producing the goods once in every five or six games isn't acceptable at a club the size of Rangers.

“I hope he goes again on Saturday and produces a performance that takes us to an important three points. I also want to see more from Alfredo Morelos. When he's been available for selection this season, his contribution hasn't been good enough. For a striker with such talent, he has been a disappointment. Thank goodness the team has had Antonio Colak in this campaign to get the goals.

“Alfredo and Ryan are out of contract in the summer. They can sign a pre-contract with another at the start of January. Maybe they will stay at Rangers and sign new deals. I've no idea what the situation is with any talks that may or not be going on.

“However, what I do know is that whether they stay or move on, they should be looking to show more. They should be looking to produce the goods for the football club, the supporters, the manager and for themselves. When I was coming to the end of my contract at Rangers in 2003 and knew I wouldn't be signing another one, I didn't down tools and go through the motions.

“No, I was more determined than ever to give my all for the jersey and for everyone at Rangers to have positive memories of my contribution to the club. We went on and won the Treble that season and it was just incredible for everyone. I was so happy and so proud. At this moment, this is a vital period for everyone and Giovanni needs every player on board and giving 100 per cent. If anyone in the squad is not willing to do that they should stand aside.”
