FABIO Cardoso is nearing a return from injury after being included in the Rangers development squad travelling to Berwick.
The defender has been absent since breaking his nose in the Betfred Cup semi-final defeat to Motherwell in October, but is one of eight first-team players set to travel to Shielfield Park last night.
Captain Lee Wallace has returned to the training field following his groin injury, but Graham Dorrans faces a spell on the sidelines and will seek further advice on his ankle following the injury sustained against Kilmarnock.
“Fabio trained on Monday and Tuesday and got into the whole session which is good after his nose operation,” caretaker manager Graeme Murty told RangersTV.
“Dozza is going to see a specialist about his ankle this week and Jordan Rossiter is progressing well.
“Lee Wallace was out on the pitch over the weekend when other people had time off.”
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
