Michael Beale has revealed that Alfredo Morelos will play a part in tomorrow's Old Firm derby against Celtic.
The Rangers boss insists there is no issue between himself and the Colombian.
It comes after his post-match comments last week where the Ibrox gaffer was not happy with the striker's contribution off the bench against Aberdeen, stating that he did not have a positive influence.
He also confirmed on Sunday that the 26-year-old will leave the club at the end of this season with his contract up.
But in the meantime, there are no problems and Morelos will continue to play a part while he's still a Rangers player.
"He'll definitely be involved in the squad," Beale told Sky Sports. "There's no issue with me and Alfredo, we've been on the same page for quite a while.
"We've had a long relationship spanning four, four-and-a-half years. There's no issues whatsoever.
"When he plays well he gets praise. It's important that I'm honest in my feedback to him. It's nothing more than that.
"Last week he came on in the game and wasn't his usual self. He was frustrated as well as everybody else."

In terms of a fitness update, there will be no places in the squad for Ben Davies or Ryan Kent, although Ryan Jack will return to the fold.
The boss continued: "Ben (Davies) misses out. Ryan (Kent) has not returned to training as still has an issue. Jack comes back in which is great.
"The team will look a bit different from the last derby so there should be a lot of energy.
"Robby will play, I have a lot of faith in him. He was missing with injury a lot of my time here and now he can showcase what he has. He was excellent last week."
