Rangers Football Club 0 Posted January 5, 2010 Share Posted January 5, 2010 (edited) NOVO could face Accies on Sunday, Thommo also set to return More... NACHO NOVO could be fit to return to the Rangers starting line up as soon as this Sunday when the Light Blues face Hamilton in the Scottish Cup. The Spanish striker had to go off after just 13 minutes of the weekend draw at Celtic after a collision with home player Georgios Samaras. Novo suffered a thigh injury and after heavy internal bleeding, it was thought he'd be out for the next two or three weeks. But while he hasn't yet returned to training, the knock isn't as bad as was first feared and he could yet find himself included in the squad that goes to Accies five days from now. That would come as a huge boost to manager Walter Smith, who is already without a number of other key players. Steven Naismith, DaMarcus Beasley and Pedro Mendes have all been injured lately while Madjid Bougherra is away preparing for the African Cup of Nations. But there's further good news for Smith as Kevin Thomson has now resumed full training after a calf injury and he'll be available for the game at New Douglas Park too. The Gers boss said: "Kevin is one who I'd hope will be fit for the weekend and Nacho has a chance. "It looked like a bad knock in the thigh for him at the weekend but the physiotherapists have been working hard on it. As such, there may now be an opportunity for him to play after all this weekend after it seemed he might be out. "As for the rest, we'll need to wait and see. DaMarcus and Pedro are both coming along well and we're hopeful of having a couple of players back."

maineflyer 0 Posted January 5, 2010 Share Posted January 5, 2010 Much as I'd never have had him near the club if it had been my choice, entirely because he'd pulled on that green and white shitewipe, it would be daft to ignore the contribution Miller has made recently. Which is about as enthusiastic as I'm ever likely to get where Miller is concerned. Definitely good news that Novo isn't out for long but what we will do with a fit Mendes is another thing - sell him I hope. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frankie 8,825 Posted January 6, 2010 Share Posted January 6, 2010 Isn't Miller free for the Scottish Cup game this weekend but then banned again for the league game next Saturday? McCulloch will also be suspended for that SPL match. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
