Rangers boss Steven Gerrard has issued a now or never call for admirers of Alfredo Morelos.

Crystal Palace and Real Betis have both been credited in an interest in the Colombian striker.

"I've got a quality player on a long contract who gets paid very well," said Gerrard, who revealed Jon Flanagan faces three weeks out following a hernia operation.

"He makes my squad an awful lot stronger because he's a prolific goalscorer. Nothing has changed in my view.

"I can't control the speculation and as a club we haven't got a decision to make because a bid hasn't come in.

"Do I think something will happen? Possibly, but that's me guessing and trying to predict the future.

"Does anyone want Alfredo Morelos? I don't know, I can't answer that question. But if they do they best bring a really big offer.

"If someone wants to spend a lot of money on a centre-forward they'll have to come early, because it won't happen late.

"If he did end up going he'd be impossible to replace with days or weeks to go in the window.

"We don't want him to go but every player has a price. I'm not going to sit here and say he's not going out the door, because if a bid lands that the board like and they want to accept, it's a completely different conversation.

"But that hasn't happened. There hasn't been one single bid."
