A trio of Lyon stars have been granted a quarantine exemption by the Scottish Government and are free to face Rangers on Thursday.
Three players went on international duty in red list countries last week and under current rules would normally be required to isolate upon arrival in Scotland.
Tino Kadewere travelled to Zimbabwe while Bruno Guimaraes and Lucas Paqueta played in Brazil.
It was expected all three would miss this week's Europa League group stage opener but Lyon asked Holyrood to look at the situation as a special case.
And now it's been ruled Kadewere, Guimaraes and Paqueta can skip quarantine to play against Steven Gerrard 's side at Ibrox.
A Scottish Government spokesperson said: “After carefully considering the public health risk, we have agreed to allow the three Lyon players to travel to Scotland.
“International travel restrictions remain necessary to limit the importation of the virus and variants of concern. Red list countries pose the highest risk, which is why any exemptions have to be considered very carefully.”
