Nico Raskin has admitted he is relieved to finally be back playing for Rangers.
The midfielder returned to action in the Premier Sports Cup win over Hibernian as he scored the opening goal at Ibrox.
Raskin was back involved for the first time since the 1-1 draw with St Mirren in August after being left out by Russell Martin in the time since.
However, Raskin now looks to firmly be back in the plans for Rangers as he helped Rangers on their way to book their spot in the semi-final of the cup competition.

Quizzed on it being good to be back involved, Raskin said on Premier Sports: "Yeah, it is. Finally"
Asked for an insight into the situation for him in the last month and talks with Martin to clear the air, Raskin said: "Listen, I think, well, it is in the past now. We have to move forward.
"We have putin a good performance in on the pitch, we have to look forward and build on that.
"Everything has not been perfect. I did not enjoy part of it, I think the manager didn't enjoy part of it and now we had a good chat and well, hopefully we can just work together and have a good spell together and look forward.
"There are things that happen in football. We are an emotional club, an emotional team, so I just want to win. We just want to give back to the fans what they give to us.
"I think the support I had was amazing. For someone who was not born here, it just feels amazing.

"When I go on the pitch I try and give everything for my team-mates and for the fans and just try to win every game now.
"What is in the past is in the past, now we look forward."
Raskin was then asked whether it feels like things are starting to click at Rangers and if he is gelling with manager Martin.
The Belgian internationalist explained: "It's not about me or the manager. It is about the team, about the club and how we go forward and how we win games.
"The season is still very long, we have loads of things to play for so, listen, I think if we can go through this tough time as a team, as a club we will only get better.
"Now, we just have to keep our head down, work hard in training and then hopefully we can keep winning games."
