The 29-year-old, who has scored 16 goals in 35 competitive appearances for “The Gers” so far, was spotted in final training, as was midfielder Ramsey.

The Welsh international took part in parts of Wednesday’s final lunchtime session and could be back in the matchday squad – he also played his last game at Hampden Park with local rivals. There is no question that for Rangers, who are coming off a 1-0 defeat to Leipzig in the first leg, the presence of their most experienced professional (73 European Cup appearances) would provide an extra boost.
