On-loan Rangers midfielder, Greg Docherty, returned from injury on Saturday.
The 22-year-old picked up a problem playing for adopted side, Shrewsbury Town, in the 1-1 draw at Bristol Rovers on 9th February.
He had been struck in the face with the ball, shortly after coming on as a substitute.

The blow wasn’t enough to force him off straight away, but after experiencing blurred vision, he was withdrawn.
Fortunately, though, it didn’t turn out to be serious.

After only missing last weekend’s draw with Burton Albion, he returned to action on Saturday.

It was a direct reaction to the sending off of Ollie Norburn, after he picked up a second yellow card just a minute previous.
There were to be no further goals after the blue nose’s entry though, as the Shrews held on for a vital 2-1 win.

Furthermore, the three points is enough to lift them clear of the relegation zone.

The third tier outfit are far from out of the woods just yet. However, they now have a two-point cushion and a game in hand over Rochdale, who occupy the last drop-zone spot.
The influential Docherty, now has 37 appearances this season and could be involved from the start as his side take on take on Doncaster, on Tuesday evening.
