GIOVANNI VAN BRONCKHORST has issued a contract update on striker Alfredo Morelos.

The Colombian has been a star performer under the Ibrox boss and he returned from international duty with a double against Hearts at the weekend.

Morelos is out of contract next summer, but Van Bronckhorst is hopeful that he will stay at Rangers beyond then as he detailed possible talks over a new deal.

Speaking in his press conference today, Van Bronckhorst said: "I didn’t have a chat with him about his long-term future but he’s a player who’s definitely important to us. 

"He’s enjoying his football at the moment. If your player is out of contract after next season then talks will happen some time this year to see how the future is for both sides. 

"I’m happy with him and the performances he’s putting on the pitch. I’m more than happy with him and then talks will begin."
