Rangers defenders Madjid Bougherra and Kirk Broadfoot both face late fitness tests ahead of Hearts’ visit to Ibrox.
David Weir is missing through suspension, sp Lee McCulloch, Christian Dailly or Andy Webster could be drafted into central defence.
Hearts winger Andrew Driver is doubtful with a hamstring problem, while Laryea Kingston, Gary Glen and Jason Thomson are all sidelined.
Goalkeeper Janos Balogh is suspended, but striker Mike Tullberg returns.
Rangers manager Walter Smith:
“We know what we have to do.“We are trailing a bit behind Celtic at the moment but we have a home game to come against them. We’ll have to try to catch up with them. “It’s a task for the team but we fell points behind in previous parts of the season and showed a determination to get back and we will have to do that now.
“The most important thing for us after the disappointment of the cup final is to make sure that we get back on track.”
Hearts manager Csaba Laszlo:
“Believe me, Rangers and Celtic would always like to play good football but reality is a little bit different.
“Reality is in the table – you see it every day.
“When Walter Smith is retired, the books and stats won’t say that Walter Smith’s team played wonderful football. They talk about winning the league, winning the Scottish Cup, reaching the Uefa Cup final.
