Loading ...Ferguson could be back for Caley
Rangers boss Walter Smith has pencilled in Barry Ferguson for a return to the first-team for the weekend clash with Inverness. 
Ferguson has been out of action since the summer after undergoing surgery on his troublesome ankle problem.
The Gers skipper came through a reserve team outing last week unscathed and he is set for another run-out for the second string this week against Dundee United.
Smith has revealed Ferguson will be in his plans to face Inverness at Ibrox next weekend, if he comes through the reserve clash without any ill-effects.
“Barry will get another game on Wednesday and I’m hopeful that if he gets through that match without any problems, he’ll come back in at the weekend,” Smith told club’s official website.
“I don’t mean that it terms of his injury because that’s okay now. If the after-effects of playing in midweek aren’t too severe, we would look at him coming in on Saturday.
Anxious
“It is natural people are anxious now to get him back. I’ll involve Barry in the pool of players for the Hamilton game but that game might be a bit early for him.
“He will play against United’s reserves and after that, I’d hope he’ll become more gradually involved with the full side.
“Barry played at St Mirren and did all of his training last week then had a recovery day yesterday so we’ll see how he is at training today.
“He is itching to get back playing again but he has an awareness of his injury now, as we do. When he makes his comeback, he’ll be ready for it.”
