RANGERS striker Nacho Novo is suspended for the Scottish Cup final against Queen of the South following his dismissal in the league defeat at Aberdeen.
Left-back Sasa Papac is expected to recover from a thigh strain to take his place in the team, and Lee McCulloch returns to the squad and possibly the starting line-up.
Manager Walter Smith could freshen up his forward line, with Kris Boyd pushing for a start after scoring twice for Rangers at Hampden in the CIS Insurance Cup final earlier this season.
Provisional squad: Alexander, Broadfoot, Dailly, Weir, Papac, Whittaker, Davis, Thomson, Ferguson, McCulloch, Beasley, Adam, Boyd, Darcheville, Cousin, G Smith, Cuellar, Buffel.
