Naismith to continue comeback

Steven Naismith will remain in the Rangers squad to face Falkirk in the Clydesdale Bank Premier League following a successful return to action.

The forward featured for the first time in nine months at St Johnstone in midweek and came through the Homecoming Scottish Cup tie unscathed.

Kyle Lafferty remains on the sidelines with a knee and ankle problem but could be back in contention next week.

Provisional squad: McGregor, Broadfoot, Weir, Bougherra, Papac, Davis, Mendes, Ferguson, Naismith, Novo, Miller, McCulloch, Boyd, Fleck, Alexander, Aaron, Wilson, Dailly.
