Davidson banned for Rangers clash Midfielder Murray Davidson is suspended for St Johnstone's Clydesdale Bank Premier League clash with Rangers at McDiarmid Park. Striker Francisco Sandaza returns from a three-game ban for the last SPL game of the season. Midfielder Lee Croft remains out with a hamstring injury. Manager Steve Lomas will take no notice of Rangers' central defensive problems. Dorin Goian picked up a knee injury last weekend and has been granted leave to return to Romania, while United States skipper Carlos Bocanegra has also returned to his homeland ahead of their international games this summer. The loss of two key players from Ally McCoist's rearguard for the last game of the season, along with the return of Sandaza, could help the Perth men get the win needed to guarantee qualification for the Europa League should fifth-placed Hearts lose to champions Celtic. However, the Northern Irishman said: "No matter what team Rangers put out we will still be the underdogs "I watched them destroy Dundee United recently and they had chances to win in the draw against Motherwell last week. "But I don't want to focus on Rangers, I want to focus on ourselves. I am looking for one more push for Europe over 90 minutes, we have a few players leaving and they will want to leave on a high." Ahead of the last game of a turbulent campaign, McCoist is confident Rangers will continue in some shape or form. While the football is set to come to an end for now, talks will continue behind the scenes as administrators Duff and Phelps try to find a suitable buyer for the stricken club. Asked whether it has crossed his mind that the trip to Perth could be Rangers' last game, McCoist said: "It hasn't because I don't believe that will be the case. "I'm not walking about with blinkers on, my eyes are very much open to the situation. "But the club has to go on, it will go on, it must go on. I am still of the opinion that our football club will continue with all the history we have had." Sale Sharks owner Brian Kennedy and the Blue Knights took their offer off the table yesterday, claiming it is now to late to push through their favoured method of exiting administration via a Company Voluntary Arrangement. American tycoon Bill Miller also withdrew from the process on Tuesday just days after being named preferred bidder. Administrators said on Friday night that discussions with two bidding parties were at "a very advanced stage", with one of the groups involved in discussions reported to have links with former Sheffield United chief executive Charles Green.
