Alfredo Morelos doesn't have any "attractive" offers to leave Rangers.
That's according to former Scotland, Celtic and Liverpool legend Kenny Dalglish.
The Colombian has struggled for form so far this season, and is out of contract at the end of the campaign.
He was back with a bang on Thursday night, though, as he netted the winner in the Light Blues' 3-2 win over Hibs at Ibrox in Michael Beale's first game in charge.
The 26-year-old's future still remains very unclear at this time, with no news over a fresh contract.
And while the striker may want to leave the club, Dalglish reckons the Gers star may not have the desired options available to him.
He wrote in his weekly column: “Alfredo Morelos scored the winning goal and that’s what he is at the football club to do.

"For a variety of reasons, he didn’t hit the heights in the first half of this season and he rarely featured under Giovanni van Bronckhorst.
“Antonio Colak was regarded as the main striker, and I agreed with Giovanni’s assessment on that. There is a working relationship between Michael and Morelos.
"But that doesn’t necessarily mean the manager wants him to stay for the long-term, or that the player wants to be part of the plans beyond this season.
“At the moment, it would be fair to speculate that there doesn’t appear to be many attractive offers for Morelos to consider.
"That could work in Rangers’ favour as the player will need to reproduce the form he showed two years ago to get a higher level of interest from elsewhere.
“So he may well need to stay put for the next six months and really show what he is all about.
"First and foremost, his challenge will be to stave off Colak and Kemar Roofe to be the main striker. Let’s see if he is capable of doing that.”
