Rangers interim head coach, Barry Ferguson has confirmed Leon Balogun is available for the side's UEFA Europa League clash with Athletico Bilbao.

Balogun missed Rangers' 2-2 away draw at Aberdeen last weekend due to a minor injury.

The 36-year-old returned to full training on Wednesday and is in contention to face the LaLiga club.

β€œIt's good news,” Ferguson told a press conference.

β€œLeon Balogun trained. Ridvan, Cerny, trained, and Rice all trained,” the gaffer told a press conference.

β€œSo hopefully, when they wake up tomorrow, there's been no issues and as I said, hopefully we're going to be strong. Also, we've got John Souttar and Diomande back.”

Balogun featured for 90 minutes in the first leg last week.

Rangers were held to a 0-0 draw by Bilbao at the Ibrox.
