Former Rangers man Charlie Miller believes that the duo of Alfredo Morelos and Jermain Defoe is reminiscent of the legends of days gone by.

What's he said?

Speaking to The Scottish Sun, Miller has likened the options at Steven Gerrard's disposal this season to those of the good old days of Brain Laudrup and Paul Gascoigne.

Defoe and Morelos have been in fine form this season, scoring 12 times in the Europa League and Premiership, an incredible record when you consider they've only played seven competitive games.

After a goal-laden start to the season, Miller has made the comparison: "We had plenty of attacking options at that time [when he was playing]. Judging by the games so far this season, it’s the same story again. I’m not sure whether you’d pick Defoe or Morelos to start the big games. They have both started the season so well — maybe you start with both of them.

"Steven Gerrard has so many attacking options in wide areas or coming from deep. And that’s even before the fans have seen Brandon Barker."

That's high praise from a player who played with some of the biggest names in the club's illustrious history, like Gazza and Laudrup.

Miller is right

While Miller's old teammates are bigger names than Defoe and Morelos, the former Ger is spot on to make the comparison.

The current duo have been incredible this season, scoring goals against just about anyone who dares try and stop them. It's rare that a side has two elite goalscorers, with Morelos scoring over 100 goals in his short career thus far and Defoe sitting pretty on more than 250 strikes.

The two haven't even started a game together this campaign, which makes their exploits even more incredible. That said, you feel if Gerrard could get them in the same side and keep their scoring rate the same, then Rangers could be an even more dangerous side than they already are.

With Gerrard preferring a 4-3-3 in the infancy of his management career, it doesn't leave room for them both. A change of shape that suits their partnership might be the catalyst needed to drive them towards trophies, joining the elites of years gone by.

While neither quite have the same status as Gascoigne and Laudrup, if they keep up their current form and end the season with one or more medals around their necks, it won't be long before they're right up there in the eyes of the Ibrox faithful.
