In a move poised to send shockwaves through European football, Rangers’ new head coach Russell Martin is reportedly considering a sensational return for former striker Alfredo Morelos. Appointed in June 2025, Martin faces the daunting task of reviving Rangers’ fortunes and challenging Celtic’s Scottish Premiership dominance.
The prospect of Morelos’s return has sparked heated debate among Rangers supporters. “I don’t think he’s the right fit for Martin’s system,” said one fan. “Morelos’s attitude problems and inconsistency were a major part of the reason we struggled last season.” Another fan chimed in, “He’s a liability on and off the pitch. I don’t think we need him back.” However, some fans are open to giving Morelos another chance, citing his goal-scoring ability and passion for the club.
Martin, renowned for his possession-based, high-pressing style, sees Morelos as a potential focal point for his revamped attack. Sources suggest the 39-year-old manager believes Morelos can rediscover his peak under disciplined guidance. With 12 goals in 20 matches for Independiente Medellín in 2025, Morelos still possesses the goal-scoring ability that made him a fan favorite at Ibrox. However, the risk of Morelos’s disciplinary issues disrupting the team’s dynamics cannot be ignored.
As Martin prepares for pre-season, the football world watches with bated breath to see if Morelos can return to Ibrox and rediscover his spark—or if his comeback will reignite old tensions, threatening Rangers’ revival. Will Martin’s gamble pay off, or will it prove to be a costly mistake? The stakes are high, and Europe is watching. One thing is certain: Morelos’s return would be a statement of ambition under Rangers’ new American ownership, led by Andrew Cavenagh and 49ers Enterprises. But will it be enough to silence the critics and bring success to Ibrox?
