Rangers fans have sent supportive messages to George Edmundson, who is in contention to feature against Hibernian on Boxing Day after completing an SFA ban.
Edmundson and Jordan Jones were both suspended by Rangers after attending a party in November and the SFA subsequently handed them seven-game bans for breaching regulations.
It was initially thought that they would only become available again for a trip to St Mirren on 30 December, but the addition of a League Cup quarter-final to the schedule earlier this month ensures they could actually make their returns four days sooner.
Steven Gerrard has made it clear that both players have a future at the club [RangersTV] and it seems that plenty of supporters believe Edmundson deserves a second chance.
When the 23-year-old tweeted to wish his followers a Merry Christmas, many fans took the opportunity to offer him words of encouragement.
Edmundson is highly unlikely to start against Hibs on Boxing Day with Connor Goldson, Filip Helander and Leon Balogun all available for selection.
In fact, prior to his ban, he had only made two appearances across the opening months of the season.
However, his return provides welcome extra cover at the back for Gerrard, who has been short on options at times due to injuries and illness.
Jones will also be eyeing a spot in the matchday squad, with the Northern Ireland international often most effective when used as an impact sub.
