Rangers dodged a bullet over Sweden-bound Morrison

Ravel Morrison is seemingly on the verge of joining Swedish outfit Ostersunds (as suggested by the club’s official website).

The former Manchester United and West Ham United youngster is set to embark on a somewhat left-wing adventure, after failing to settle at any club in his playing career so far.

Morrison is currently a Lazio player, but has been loaned out twice to Queens Park Rangers and Mexican outfit Atlas.

He’s only ever made eight appearances for the Serie A side, but his stint looks to be at an end.

Some Rangers fans can now breathe a sigh of relief, after the player had ominously followed Steven Gerrard and a number of Gers players last month (reported on by The Daily Record), fuelling speculation he was set to move to Ibrox.

A dodged bullet

Rangers manager Gerrard never moved for Morrison despite the rumours picking up the pace.

Arguably this was the right decision from a man who has championed hard work and professionalism all season.

Gerrard has transformed Rangers and the last thing he would need is a disruptive individual with the potential to undo all his hard work.

Gerrard has been drumming a strong mentality into all his players since taking over, and signing Morrison would have been a risk.

The star was once a highly promising young player, but struggled to keep himself in check off the field and has failed to live up to his billing.
