Sturm Graz were forced to be without their Player of the Year for the trip after Kiteishvili had to return to Georgia to deal with a family problem.
But his manager, Jurgen Saumel, has confirmed the 47-times capped playmaker will return for the visit of the Ibrox side.
He said: "Unfortunately, Otar had an issue with his family in Georgia and asked the club's permission to return home and miss the game in Denmark.
"Of course we granted that because nothing is more important than your family. We told him to take all the time he needs.
"He is obviously a very important player for us and we missed him.
"But he is due back in time for the next Europa League game against Rangers, he has confirmed this when we spoke on the phone.
"The result was disappointing, but I wasn't dissatisfied with the performance. Our young team made important steps in their development.
"We can be a tough opponent for anyone in front of our own fans and we know if we want to finish in the top 24 in this league, we have to pick up points at home, starting with Rangers."
