Team news for the clash with Rangers

Falkirk manager John Hughes has a virtual fully-fit squad to choose from for the visit of Rangers. Defender Jack Ross has made two brief friendly appearances during the international break but, having not featured since September with a hernia problem, may not return this weekend. On-loan winger Arnau Riera has been struggling with a calf injury in recent weeks but could make his return on Saturday.

Rangers could be unchanged from the side that started their last match against Barcelona three weeks ago. Manager Walter Smith has lost Nacho Novo to a dislocated shoulder which will keep him sidelined for around five weeks, but otherwise the rest of his squad returned from international duty reporting no problems. Full-back Stevie Smith remains sidelined after undergoing hernia surgery, while fellow defender Andy Webster is still three weeks away from returning to action.
