Jelavic likely to be back for Rangers' clash with Celtic

Rangers have received a boost ahead of Sunday's Old Firm derby with Celtic with news that Nikica Jelavic should be fit for the Ibrox fixture.

The Croatian striker missed Saturday's win at Dundee United with a knee injury but 'Gers boss Ally McCoist is confident he will be available for the weekend.

"We are very hopeful as regards Nikica now," he said.

"He came off against Israel last week and his knee had puffed up slightly.

"Listen, he wanted to come up with us to Tannadice but I just felt it was right to leave him at home.

"We'll have a look at him over the next couple of days."
