ALFREDO MORELOS was spotted mingling with fans as the hours ticked down to Rangers’ Europa League final with Eintracht Frankfurt in Seville.

The little Colombian hasn’t featured for Rangers since late March after undergoing surgery on a thigh injury.

But he looks to be on the mend – judging from pictures taken him joining with Gers fans in the Ibrox fan zones in Seville.

And he wasn’t the only Gers hero in attendance – with stars Nikica Jelavic and Sasa Papac joining the party.

Clad in a Dolce & Gabbana T-Shirt and a Rangers bucket hat, he gave a thumbs up to cameraman as he strolled through the streets of the Spanish city.

How the Gers would love to have his services available to them as they go into only their first continental final for 14 years – although they have performed admirably in his absence to get to this stage.

All eyes are on Morelos as he goes into the final year of his contract in the aftermath of the tie – with the Gers working out if it is feasible to tie him down long term or else maximise their profit on a genuine asset.

Meanwhile, John Lundstram admits the pressure of playing under his hero hampered the start of his Rangers career.

The Gers midfielder feels he was guilty of trying too hard to impress hometown idol Steven Gerrard.

Signed on a free transfer last summer from Sheffield United, it took the Scouser time to find his feet.

But after a sluggish intro to life at Rangers, Lundstram is now flourishing under Giovanni van Bronckhorst.

He said: “My form is a lot better and it coincides with the run we’ve had.

“It helps to get a run of games to try and show what I can do.

“I’m glad it’s turned out the way it has and just thankful to the manager for giving me the opportunity. It wasn’t about proving a point to myself because I’ve always been confident in my ability and I know what I can do.

“But coming to a new club — and it’s a massive club to come into — there was a lot of pressure on me to perform early doors and hit the ground running.

“Playing for Steven was massive for me and I think that added a bit of pressure playing for my boyhood hero.

“A run of games has helped. It comes with time.”
