Rangers manager Walter Smith is hoping Sasa Papac will be back in action against Motherwell on Wednesday night.
The left-back returned to full training on Monday after being sidelined with a knee injury. The Bosnian limped out of the 3-0 win over Falkirk eight days ago and was also forced to sit out cup matches against St Johnstone and St Mirren.
"We're hopeful Sasa will be fit for the trip to Fir Park. He doesn't miss many games and we're keen to get him back," said Smith.
"He has missed the last couple of matches but he was out with the rest of the players today along with DaMarcus Beasley and Maurice Edu.
"As long as there's no reaction to him training, he should be able to return to the team in midweek."
Kenny Miller and Kris Boyd both returned from injury against St Mirren at the weekend, while Beasley and Edu could be fit for the clash with Motherwell.
However, Smith will err on the side of caution regarding those who have had a spell in the treatment room recently.
He told www.rangers.co.uk: "What we've got to remember is that there are a few in the group who have missed a lot of football.
"It will take them a little bit of time to settle back in. Kenny has missed the least games so he isn't a big problem but we still have to take a bit of care with him.
"When we have three games a week it can be awkward for him and we'll use him, Kris and the rest at the right times."
