STRIKER Alfredo Morelos will be part of Rangers’ Europa League squad after they beat Uefa’s transfer deadline to seal his signature.

The Ibrox outfit confirmed the signing of the 20-year-old from Finnish side HJK Helsinki on a three-year deal just hours after learning their first two qualifying-round opponents.

Boss Pedro Caixinha is pinning his hopes on the youngster’s deadly scoring record as he prepares the Light Blues for their first European clash in six years.

Morelos is eligible to feature in the first-round clashes with Niederkorn after work permit and visa documents were granted ahead of Monday’s registration deadline.

Caixinha remains confident similar paperwork for the Mexican duo Carlos Pena and Eduardo Herrera will be processed in time so that they too can join up with his team.

Columbian Under-20s international Morelos hit 17 goals in 19 appearances for HJK this season, following last term’s 30-goal haul.
