Rangers hero Kris Boyd has slammed striker Alfredo Morelos, saying he has "no market value".

The 26-year-olds contract is up at the end of the season and at the moment is not clear whether he will sign an extension or not.

Morelos has scored just three times for the Light Blues this campaign and has found his game time limited due to the success of summer signing Antonio Colak.

Boyd has now made his feelings clear on the Colombian.

Writing in the Scottish Sun, he said: "Some supporters want to see Morelos sign a new deal to prevent him for leaving when his deal runs out at the end of the season.

"I’m sorry, but my old club would be absolutely crazy to even consider it.

"I’ve cut Morelos enough slack down the years and sang his praises.

"But those days are long gone. Morelos’ attitude in a Rangers shirt lately just hasn’t been befitting that jersey and he’s made it quite clear his future lies elsewhere.

"The only question is whether he goes next month or at the end of the season.

The Gers hero then went on to claim that the Colombian international would have very little market value for the Light Blues and that this may be one of the reasons new boss Beale will want to keep him till the end of the season.

"Truth be told, I wouldn’t be surprised if Michael Beale wants to keep him for the next six months," he continued

"The new Ibrox boss knows Morelos from his time working with Steven Gerrard, he’s seen the best of him.

"If Morelos gives any indication whatsoever that he could score ten goals between now and next May then Beale may think it’s worth keeping him as part of his squad.

"Morelos has virtually no market value so it’s not like he could be sold for decent money now.

"The fee Rangers would get probably wouldn’t pay the Ibrox electricity bill.

"And, genuinely, I seriously wonder if Rangers would be able to find a club willing to pay a few hundred grand for Morelos to take him off their hands."
