Rangers boss Walter Smith is happy to have striker Jean-Claude Darcheville back in the fold after a spell on the sidelines with an Achilles injury.
Darcheville featured as a substitute in the 2-0 win over Inverness Caledonian Thistle at the weekend, having not played since the end of September.
Smith said after the win: "It's good to have Jean-Claude back. Offensively, he gives us something different.
"He's a natural partner for a main striker, whether it's Kris Boyd or Daniel Cousin and he can also play up there on his own if need be.
"Jean-Claude is an experienced player and knows how and where to cause teams a bit of a problem. He can take the ball into feet and turn players and he has got a bit of pace.
"We haven't really had the best of him yet because of his Achilles problem, but, hopefully, he can stay injury free from now on."
Darcheville has scored four goals in 13 appearances since his summer arrival from Bordeaux.
