Anthony Stewart reckons Antonio Colak is BETTER than Alfredo Morelos as he chose between the Rangers strikers ahead of their Hampden showdown.

Michael Beale is likely to have a selection headache ahead of the Viaplay Cup semi-final, to play Morelos or Colak up top. Dons captain Stewart has already made his mind up about who he would rather face at Hampden Park on Sunday afternoon. During a press conference ahead of the crunch tie the centre back said he would rather face the Colombian than the Croat due to Colak's better "round game".

Stewart has faced both so far this season and thinks Colak, who scored against the Dons at Ibrox in October, has more in his locker in the final third. So far the former PAOK forward has managed to bag 14 goals in 25 appearances for Michael Beale's side since signing in the summer transfer window. Colak is expected to miss the game on Sunday after coming off during the league win over Dundee United last Sunday.

Stewart said: "For me, they are two completely different strikers. I do rate one better than the other, I would say that Colak is a better striker than Morelos, in my opinion. Just their whole round game. I've played against both of them and I can give my opinion on it.

"I analyse and watch both of their clips and I kind of know what sort of game to put up against them."
