Beattie back for Rangers

James Beattie returns from injury for Rangers‘ Clydesdale Bank Premier League game against Aberdeen.

Beattie has recovered from a hip problem, but Maurice Edu is a doubt for the trip to Pittodrie with a knee knock.

A groin problem kept Nikica Jelavic out of training today but the striker is expected to be fit for the clash with the Dons.

Provisional squad: McGregor, Whittaker, Papac, Weir, Bougherra, Davis, McCulloch, Edu, Naismith, Weiss, Miller, Jelavic, Beattie, Broadfoot, Little, Hutton, Alexander.
