Rangers have been handed an injury boost after Sweden boss Janne Anderson revealed Filip Helander is fit to face Greece this evening.
The centre-back was expected to miss out on the Group B World Cup Qualifier clash after picking up a knock in their 2-1 win over Spain at the weekend.
After spending the start of the week training on his own in the gym, gaffer Anderson admitted he was a major doubt.
But Helander is now expected to take his place alongside Victor Lindelof as they look to all but clinch a World Cup playoff place.

Andersson said: “Filip Helander is okay and fit to play.
“He and some other players needed some rest and rehab after the game against Spain but he is ready to play Greece”.
The Swedes have impressed in qualifying, picking up three wins from their first three matches, and they currently sit second in the group.
A win against Greece could see them move ahead of Spain at the top of the group if the Spaniards fail to beat third placed Kosovo.
Helander will be desperate to make it to the World Cup after only being used as a sub during Euro 2020 following an injury suffered towards the end of last season.
The big Swede has been a key player for the Gers this season and he headed in the winner in the Old Firm clash against Celtic last time out.
Ahead of Rangers trip to St Johnstone, boss Steven Gerrard will be watching on closely to discover if the Ibrox star plays and makes it through the 90 minutes against Greece.
Helander is expected to play with just two changes expected for Sweden.
