[delbear 0]

 

 

The Gers' gaffer was delighted to see both players in action as the Reserves beat Hearts 3-0 on Tuesday but insists that the duo will still have to fight for their places in his starting eleven.

 

Le Guen has been impressed with the way Brahim Hemdani and Jeremy Clement have performed this season but is fully aware that the return of the captain, and Burkey, will give everyone a boost.

 

He said: "It is true that Barry and Chris are both ready to be back and it is good news for us. They are both important players for the club.Chris Burke

 

"I know that Barry is an big player for Rangers but I need to remind everyone that Brahim has done very well from the beginning of the season.

 

"Barry will need to fight for his place in the team and this is normal.

 

"We can't guarantee any player a place in the team, that is impossible.

 

"But it is great we have Barry back in the squad because he is our captain but, first of all, because he is a very good player."

 

Rangers fans will be hoping to see new signing Sasa Papac in a Light Blue jersey on Saturday afternoon.

 

The defender was in action as Bosnia lost 3-1 at home and Le Gaffer will wait until tomorrow before making a decision on whether to hand the player his Gers debut.

 

He said: "Sasa is currently in Sarajevo so let's wait for him to return and I will speak to him before deciding what will happen this weekend. It is too early for me to speak about what I am going to do.

 

 

It is true when players feature in internationals and have to travel they can be tired and I have to take this into consideration.

 

"But Sasa is a good player to have in the squad as he is left footed and can play in the centre of defence or at left-back.

 

"These two options are important for me and he is a very good signing for the club.

 

"I am happy with the squad I have right now and I feel that this is a new start for us. The team will now be asked to play every three or four days and in tough games.

 

"But with the squad I have I feel we are ready to try and achieve our aims."

 

Le Guen has been happy with his side's recent form but is aware that his side must take their chances in front of goal, starting this weekend against FalkirkKris Boyd.

 

He said: "I know that we need to improve in this area. I think we have had had four good games now and have missed chances.

 

"However, I am happy with the way the players are working and we need to keep this going.

 

"This weekend's game against Falkirk could be a dangerous one for us. We have seen their matches and we must be careful.

 

"I still have a few decisions to make for this game. We have to see about Lionel Letizi as we might have to give him another week before he comes back.

 

 

"Again I will decide on this tomorrow."
