BONGANI ZUNGU could return to the Rangers squad for their Europa League clash with Benfica on Thursday after missing the win over Aberdeen with a knee injury.
The midfielder picked up a knock during his appearances for South Africa during the international break and wasn't part of the Ibrox squad that clinched a 4-0 Premiership victory on Sunday.
Rangers return to continental competition this week when they host Benfica in a hugely important Group D clash.
And boss Steven Gerrard could have Zungu available once again as he looks to make his second appearance for the Gers.
Gerrard said: "He has got a knock on his knee that we are assessing and checking out at the moment. We don’t think it is big so you could see him on Thursday hopefully.
"But don’t be surprised if he takes a little bit longer. But it is not a big problem, it is only days rather than weeks or months."
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
