Steven Davis fit and Rangers eye swift Kris Boyd recovery

The 19-goal striker had to be replaced by Andrew Little just before half-time of Sunday's 3-3 draw at New Douglas Park.

Rangers, who also believe Boyd's problem not to be serious, claim the striker's injury was caused by the awkward conditions underfoot, with the game being played in the middle of the big freeze.

There was good news on midfielder Steven Davis, who was forced off with a dead leg against Accies but was moving comfortably during training at Murray Park yesterday morning.

Manager Walter Smith, already without the suspended Kenny Miller for this weekend's Clydesdale Bank Premier League match with Hamilton, told his club's website, www.rangers.co.uk: "Kris got an injury which we obviously don't want at this time because he has been doing so well for us.

"He has scored a lot of goals but we have to accept he's injured at the moment and it'll be another 24 hours or so before we know the full extent of his problem.

"We don't want to be without him for long, especially as Kenny is suspended for the game back at Hamilton on Saturday. The two of them have been doing so well together and it's bad enough, with the injuries we have, that we're going to be without one of them this weekend."

Rangers are currently without Steven Naismith, Nacho Novo, DaMarcus Beasley, Pedro Mendes and Jerome Rothen, while Algerian defender Madjid Bougherra is at the African Nations Cup.

Miller scored twice in the draw with Hamilton – meaning he has now netted eight in his last five matches – and the striker is determined to continue his goal streak.

"For the last five or six weeks, we have been playing well and creating a lot of chances for the forwards," said Miller. "I've been fortunate enough to find myself in the right place at the right time a few times and put them away.

"Long may it continue. I would love to keep going and score goals every week. These wee spells always come to an end but hopefully it will continue for the coming weeks."

Miller's own form could be hampered by the loss of Boyd if the latter finds himself facing a spell on the sidelines. "It's something you have to handle over the course of a season," he added. "We are going through a bad spell in terms of injuries and suspensions but we are also getting a couple of boys back, like Kevin Thomson and Maurice Edu and Kirk Broadfoot."
