Rangers currently lead their rivals by 16 points
Rangers have been handed an injury boost ahead of a crucial run of games as Ryan Jack nears a return.
The 28-year-old has been out of action for over a month due to a knee problem, but he could be set to rejoin the squad in the near future.
Steven Gerrard’s men take on St Johnstone at McDiarmid Park on Wednesday night as they aim to maintain their 16-point lead at the top of the table, before facing Hibs and St Mirren in their final matches of the year.
2021 begins with a crucial showdown against Celtic at Ibrox, and the midfielder appears to be winning his battle to be involved on January 2.
As quoted by Sky Sports News, assistant manager Gary McAllister said: “The pleasing thing is that Ryan Jack has had a couple of good days on the grass.
“He’s back and we’re pretty hopeful that he can be in and around the squad for Hibs on Boxing Day.
“That’s a big boost going into this busy schedule.”
Celtic have three games in hand, but Gerrard’s side have built up a significant lead on account of 16 wins and two draws in their opening 18 Premiership matches.
