Smith must make decision on strikers

Rangers have no fresh injury worries and plenty of attacking options for tomorrow’s second leg of their UEFA Cup last-32 clash with Panathinaikos.

Rangers have no fresh injury worries and plenty of attacking options for tomorrow’s second leg of their UEFA Cup last-32 clash with Panathinaikos.

Striker Jean-Claude Darcheville serves the second game of a three-match suspension, and defender Steven Whittaker remains sidelined with a hamstring injury.

Striker Daniel Cousin travelled to Athens with the squad and could feature again, while his move to Fulham awaits FIFA approval, however boss Walter Smith may prefer Kris Boyd or Lee McCulloch in attack.

Thomas Buffel and Alan Gow have travelled as back-up, with DaMarcus Beasley (knee) on the long-term injury list.

Provisional squad: McGregor, Broadfoot, Cuellar, Weir, Papac, Ferguson, Hemdani, Burke, McCulloch, Boyd, Naismith, Novo, Alexander, Davis, Dailly, Buffel, Gow, Faye, Cousin, Adam.
