Giovanni van Bronckhorst has provided his latest injury update on Ryan Kent ahead of tomorrow's crunch Champions League showdown with Union Saint-Gilloise at Ibrox.
Rangers are two goals down from last week's first leg meeting in Belgium as they bid to reach the play-off round of the qualifying route and come up against one of Monaco or PSV with a spot in the lucrative group stages with Celtic up for grabs. Key man Kent missed the weekend win over Kilmarnock in the Premiership with fellow star Alfredo Morelos making a scoring return to action from the bench following a long spell out with a thigh injury.
The Dutchman confirmed the former Liverpool attacker faced a race against time to be fit for the Euro crunch under the lights in Govan with the winger 'pushing hard' to be ready for the second-leg.
And now it has given a positive update by revealing he is FIT and will be part of the squad for Tuesday's match.

He said: "Ryan Kent is in the squad, as is Fashion Jr.
"Ryan, we will assess tomorrow and see his fitness level if he can get minutes.
"[Alfredo] Morelos is progressing well after getting minutes at the weekend.
On the task at hand, the Ibrox boss told the media during his press call: "We want to stay in the Champions League, the first game wasn't the result we wanted but we have a home game tomorrow that we can change the result.
"My objective and desire is to be in the Champions League again next week.
"When we play home games the atmosphere is fantastic, I am sure it will be the same tomorrow.
"We have to make sure our performance is better than last week to help create an atmosphere that makes it difficult for the visiting team.
"We started the league with two wins which is important, we have a big squad with new additions and it can take some time to get familiar with each other.
"I can see the development of the squad adapting to our playing style."
Both Morelos and Colak were on target at the weekend and boss Van Bronckhorst is delighted with the duo and the options he has in all areas of his team.
He continued: "Alfredo's (Morelos) reception from the crowd you see, we know the strengths and what he brings to the team.
"We have a lot of competition in all areas of the pitch and gives me more options.
"I'm really happy with both [Antonio] Colak and Morelos on Saturday."
