Rangers manager Walter Smith is hoping for a triple injury boost ahead of Saturday's SPL trip to Hearts.

The Gers boss believes his squad could be bolstered by Sasa Papac, Kris Boyd and Madjid Bougherra all being given the all-clear to resume first-team action despite struggling with knocks in recent weeks.

"I think Sasa will be fit for the game and I'm quite certain that Kris Boyd, who came off injured on Saturday, will be okay," Smith told the club's official website.

"I'm also fairly hopeful that Madjid Bougherra, who has struggled with a calf strain over the last few weeks, will come in again too."

However, Scotland striker Kenny Miller remains a doubt for the trip to Tynecastle.

He added: "Kenny has taken a nasty knock to his calf and that's one of those we'll have to take care of.

"We hope he'll be able to play for us this weekend but I'd say at the moment that he's a little bit doubtful."
