ALFREDO MORELOS admits he dreams of playing in a ‘more competitive league’ as he prepares for what could be his final match for Rangers.
The striker has scored 29 goals for Steven Gerrard’s side this term and his performances have brought him to the attention of clubs across Europe ahead of the summer window.
Morelos returned from a four-game suspension in the win over Hibernian a fortnight ago but started that match, and the Old Firm victory against Celtic, on the bench as Jermain Defoe was given the nod by boss Gerrard.
Rangers head to Rugby Park this weekend aiming to record a seventh consecutive Premiership win and Morelos insists he is only focused on the Light Blues at present.
He said: “There is a lot of speculation about my possible departure, but there is nothing concrete yet.
“I know what there are many interested clubs asking and as soon as there is something official I will be announcing it.
“But I’m committed to Rangers just now. I’ve had a good season and many clubs are interested and hopefully everything will be done in the right way.
“I dream of playing in a much better, more competitive league. I look at the English Premier League and the Spanish League. The leagues in France and Italy are very big leagues too and very competitive.
“But I am very happy with what has been a great season with Rangers. I’ve scored a lot of goals and on Sunday I hope to end the season with another goal and be the top scorer in Scotland.
“I am really happy with everything that we have accomplished this year with Rangers. For me, it was an incredible season. I’ve scored nearly 30 goals and I also got an award from my fellow players too. Being recognised by them is one of the best moments of my career.
“Here in Glasgow I lead a very quiet life, the people here have welcomed me in the best way. It is a city with very welcoming people.
“The architecture is striking and there are many castles, it’s very different from Colombia and it’s a region with a lot of history. But I always miss my home in Colombia too.”
