Gers welcome Goian back

Rangers are boosted by the return of Dorin Goian for their Clydesdale Bank Premier League game against Inverness.

The defender has recovered from a hamstring problem but skipper David Weir is likely to remain on the sidelines with a similar injury.

Sasa Papac has also been ruled out of the trip to the Highlands through illness, while a question mark remains over the availability of Steven Whittaker, who has a broken toe. Kyle Bartley is set to be added to the squad after joining on loan for a second time from Arsenal.

Provisional squad: McGregor, Whittaker, Wallace, Goian, Davis, McCulloch, Ortiz, Edu, Wylde, Naismith, Jelavic, Hemmings, Broadfoot, Alexander, Fleck, Healy, Hutton, Bartley.
