We earlier told how the 23-year-old might not make his comeback for the side tonight after boss Steven Gerrard revealed he has a calf injury.
Morelos missed Rangers' last three fixtures through suspension and was in line for a return to first-team action this evening against Ross County, but the forward is now a doubt for the Premiership encounter.
"Alfredo has had a small calf problem," Gerrard told Rangers TV.
"So I need to check with the medical staff what the right decision to do with Alfredo is because we do not want to put him in with any risk.
"But it's good to have him back available in the squad. We have a lot of games coming up, so I'll make the right decision that is not a risk to the player."
