French-Algerian cleared to face Killie

Rangers will have Salim Kerkar in their squad for the Clydesdale Bank Premier League clash against Kilmarnock after the French-Algerian was granted international clearance.

But Sasa Papac (head), Madjid Bougherra (hamstring) and Maurice Edu (knee) are out with the latter two definitely sidelined for Wednesday‘s Champions League clash against Manchester United too.

Steven Naismith, Steven Whittaker, Kirk Broadfoot, Kyle Lafferty and Steven Davis are all available despite being forced out of international action in midweek.

On-loan Aberdeen player Richard Foster comes back into contention after missing the game against his parent club while James Beattie, Nikica Jelavic and Andy Webster remain on the sidelines.

Provisional squad: McGregor, Whittaker, Broadfoot, Foster, Weir, Davis, McCulloch, Weiss, Lafferty, Naismith, Miller, Fleck, Kerkar, Wylde, Hutton, Loy, Little, Alexander.
