Rangers squad revealed as Jermain Defoe set to provide injury boost for Hearts clash

Rangers boss Steven Gerrard is confident Jermain Defoe will be available for Sunday's clash against Hearts.

The striker was ruled out of the 2-2 Europa League draw with Feyenoord on Thursday night.

But the Ibrox gaffer is hopeful he will shrug off the problem as he declared no fresh injury concerns ahead of the visit of the Edinburgh side.

Meanwhile Hearts star Craig Halkett is back into contention against Rangers following seven weeks out with a knee injury.

Peter Haring went under the knife on his groin injury two weeks ago and is on the road to recovery.

John Souttar , Ben Garuccio and Conor Washington are also nearing their return from injury.

Rangers provisional squad: McGregor, Flanagan, Tavernier, Helander, Halliday, Barisic, Edmundson, Goldson, Katic, Davis, Jack, Aribo, Kamara, King, Arfield, Barker, Kent, Ojo, Defoe, Morelos, Stewart, Murphy, Foderingham.

Hearts provisional squad: Pereira, Smith, Hickey, Berra, Brandon, Dikamona, Irving, Whelan, Bozanic, Clare, MacLean, Ikpeazu, Keena, Meshino, Morrison, Mulraney, Wighton, Walker, White, Naismith, Damour, Doyle.
