Gers captain Barry Ferguson is set to return from injury in the weekend clash with Inverness. Ferguson has been out of action since the summer after undergoing surgery on an ankle problem.

Boss Walter Smith told the club's official web site, "Barry will get another game on Wednesday and I'm hopeful that if he gets through that match without any problems, he'll come back in at the weekend."

"I don't mean that it terms of his injury because that's okay now. If the after-effects of playing in midweek aren't too severe, we would look at him coming in on Saturday.

"He is itching to get back playing again but he has an awareness of his injury now, as we do. When he makes his comeback, he'll be ready for it."
