The former St Mirren defender has ligament damage and the Murray Park medical team are unsure if it will clear in time, Nacho Novo gets treatmentThe good news for Rangers is that Madjid Bougherra has been passed fit despite taking a calf knock in last Sunday's 5-1 Homecoming Scottish Cup win over Hamilton. And manager Walter Smith has revealed that Nacho Novo has a chance of making the squad as the Spanish striker battles back from an ankle injury suffered at the end of January. Smith said today: "Madjid will be fine. Nacho has a chance for the final and we hope he will be available but we will know more later in the week. "Kirk has ligament damage in his foot and, again, we hope he will be fit but we will have to wait until later in the week." Broadfoot missed the Hamilton game last Sunday and in his absence Stevie Whittaker produced a good performance at right back topped by a terrific solo goal. This might have nailed his place for the Final - even if Broadfoot recovers - although Smith was not giving anything away. He said: "Steven did well on Sunday and he was more like himself. He was doing the type of things we know he is capable of. "When players come in to the team we always want them to try to force us into making decisions and Steven has made a case for the Final. "The same goes for Kyle Lafferty who played well at the weekend." Edited March 10, 2009 by Super_Ally Pic Captions..... 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
