Ianis Hagi has returned to the Rangers first-team squad.
The 26-year-old has been reinstated to Philippe Clement's side after a stand-off over a contract clause.
Hagi - who spent last season on loan at Alaves in La Liga - has not been part of the Ibrox first-team since making a cameo appearance against Morton in August 2023.
Philippe Clement previously stated the playmaker was not viewed as a permanent fixture in the long-term at Rangers.
A contract clause - which would reportedly have seen Hagi's wage increased due to the numbers of matches played - complicated the situation for the Romanian internationalist after he failed to leave the club in the summer.

The Rangers Review reports that a solution has been reached between the player and the club to allow a return to the first-team.
There is thought to have been a desire from both sides for a solution to be reached after the lengthy stand-off with Hagi playing only for the B team.
The midfielder has now returned to first-team training at Rangers and could be available against St Johnstone this weekend.
Hagi is not in contention to face Lyon in the Europa League as he is not part of the registered list of players for the UEFA competition.
It's thought Hagi is fit and ready to participate if called upon having maintained his fitness levels even while out of the first-team picture.
