HIBS will be able to field a strong team against Rangers tomorrow night at Easter Road with a clutch of players available again after suspension.

Skipper Rob Jones, Chris Hogg, Sol Bamba and Colin Nish are all back, although manager Mixu Paatelainen has believes the displays of some of his fringe players in last week's 1-0 win over Hearts has given him something to think about.

"I always have difficult decisions to make," he said.

"One thing is for sure, though. We will be playing for ourselves and for a win, whoever we are playing against.

"We will be giving our all against both Celtic and Rangers. We don't favour anybody."

Down south, Scotland and Burnley midfielder Graham Alexander is hoping to improve on his own poor play-off record by steering Owen Coyle's side into the Coca-Cola Championship play-off final at Reading tonight.

The 37-year-old has been a losing semi-finalist in three of his previous six play-off appearances.

But he is pinning his hopes on victory - and a showdown with Sheffield United in the final at Wembley. He said: "This is my seventh play-off and I've not been fortunate in the past. Hopefully I can put that right."

Meanwhile, Darren Fletcher will definitely miss the Champions League Final after Uefa yesterday rejected Manchester United's appeal against his red-card shown in the semi-final win over Arsenal.
