Christian absolves Rangers two
The duo were back at Murray Park on Friday after boss Walter Smith performed a surprise U-turn and told the pair they were back in his plans.He had previously informed journalists that both players would not play for Rangers again following their antics while on international duty.But Smith had a change of heart this week and both Ferguson and McGregor are available for selection again after serving two-week club bans."It's nice to have them back," said Dailly."They have served their punishment and that's it done."However, Dailly admits the fallout surrounding the pair's behaviour while with Scotland led to a tough time for everyone at Rangers."I don't think it's been ideal," he said."As a club, we would have preferred that we'd had them all the time and hadn't ended up in the situation that we were in."But I think everyone pulled together well and we had three wins in a week from three tough games."It's been fine. The main thing is that we know we've got people who can come in and do a job."Now that they're back, the squad will be bolstered."Smith has refused to divulge whether Ferguson or McGregor will be involved in Sunday's SPL game at Hibernian and Dailly claimed he was also in the dark.He said: "It's up to the manager, he picks the team. We just train together, we are all team-mates and friends."We are the sort of team who thinks that whoever plays, we can still win the game."A crippling injury list - combined with the absence of Ferguson and McGregor - means Dailly has been called upon in the last couple of games and has relished his involvement.He said: "There have been times throughout the season when it's looked as though there will be a few injuries and suspensions and I've found myself sitting on the bench ready to go on at any time."I just keep myself ready to play and the manager knows that."Rangers head into the weekend action trailing Celtic by a single point in the title race.But Dailly insisted: "It's still within our hands. If we win all the games, we win the league."We know that but it's going to be difficult and there are definitely going to be a few twists and turns. We have to try to win all the games."All we are trying to do is look after ourselves and we have a tough game on Sunday."We will need to be bang-on to win that game but we are feeling quite good at the moment. We are confident."
