Rangers get a boost

December 2, 2008

Walter Smith will be happy to have 3 of his first team members back in contention for the weekends game against Hamilton Accies.

Rangers have seen their title bid falter in recent weeks and are needing a boost to get back on track and Smith is hoping that the return of Papac, Davis and Miller can bring this much needed boost.

“I think he will be fit to play this weekend,” said Smith. “It looks as though the calf injury will eventually clear and he will maybe be able to start training in the middle of this week.”

He added: “He had been playing well for us but we have to cover for the loss of players. We feel we have a big enough squad to do so, and we didn’t do so.

“When that happens, we can only look at what happens during the games.”

Papac has also been sidelined through injury, while Davis missed last week’s defeat at Hearts and the win over Aberdeen because of family reasons.

Smith added: “They will be back. I just felt that going to Tynecastle, with Sasa being out for two games and the type of game it was going to be, it would have been a difficult one to come back into.

“But he will be back at the weekend and Steven Davis will be back as well.”
