Rangers captain Barry Ferguson is close to a first-team return after coming through a practice game against Dundee.
The 28-year-old Scotland midfielder has missed the start of the season due to a heel injury, but is set for a reserve team outing this week and could be in contention for the clash with Falkirk next weekend.
Gers assistant manager Yves Colleu told the club's official website: "It's good news that Barry played and he could be part of the reserve game with Hearts on Tuesday.
"If he does well then maybe we can consider him for the Falkirk game, but it is too early to speak about that.
"Barry has been out of action for a long time, so we have to take things step by step.
"We know Barry is an important player here but he needs to be fit and he needs to get into a good condition."
