Weiss returns for Gers

Vladimir Weiss was back in the Rangers side after being passed fit for their Clydesdale Bank Premier League game at St Mirren.

The winger was rated doubtful with a heel problem but recovered in time to make the starting line-up for the trip to Paisley, with Kirk Broadfoot dropping to the bench following the midweek Champions League defeat in Valencia.

St Mirren made one change from their win over Aberdeen last week, with Hugh Murray replacing Michael Higdon for the visit of the Scottish champions.

St Mirren: Samson, van Zanten, Potter, McAusland, Travner, Murray, McGregor, Cregg, McGowan, Mooy, Wardlaw.

Subs: Mathers, Brady, Higdon, McQuade, McCluskey, Kennedy, McLean.

Rangers: McGregor, Whittaker, Bougherra, Weir, Papac, Davis, Edu, McCulloch, Weiss, Naismith, Miller.

Subs: Alexander, Broadfoot, Fleck, Lafferty, Foster, Wylde, Hutton.

Referee: C Thomson (Scotland)
