Rangers manager Pedro Caixinha has been speaking to reporters ahead of his side’s match against Motherwell this weekend, with his comments posted online by the Gers’ official Twitter account.

Among the topics up for discussion was the availability of left-back Lee Wallace, who returned from international duty with a minor injury.

“Lee Wallace has been recovering this week and is in contention for Saturday,” the Portuguese boss said.

That is good news with the 29-year-old starting Caixinha’s first match in charge earlier this month and featuring 34 times for Rangers so far this season.

The Gers skipper is a vital player for the club and everyone concerned will be hoping he is fit and ready for Saturday’s clash, although he will not be rushed back.

Rangers may have no chance of catching Scottish Premiership leaders Celtic this season but there is plenty of positivity around Ibrox right now.

The future looks bright under Caixinha and he will be hoping to use the next few months to lay the groundwork for the upcoming campaign, when Rangers will be looking to challenge for the title once more.
