Alfredo Morelos absent from Rangers' win over TNS amid transfer rumours


Jermain Defoe scored the only goal of the game as the Ibrox side won 1-0, but the Colombian striker was conspicuous by his absence.
While some reports claimed the hitman was nursing a knock picked up in a previous match against Mansfield, the 22-year-old was linked with French top-flight side Lille earlier this week, and there are suggestions the former HJK striker could be the subject of a hefty bid from an unnamed English Premier League side.
