GIOVANNI VAN BRONCKHORST has revealed when Joe Aribo will return for Rangers.
The Light Blues star has been on international duty for the whole of January with Nigeria, as they took part in the Africa Cup of Nations.
This has meant that the attacking midfielder has missed two of the Ibrox side's games since the resumption of the top flight following the winter break.
It had been expected that Aribo would also miss the big derby match versus Celtic on February 2.
However, despite being touted to go all the way, the Super Eagles were surprisingly knocked out of the competition on Sunday night by Tunisia.
And van Bronckhorst has revealed that the player is on his way back to Glasgow today - and should be free to face Ross County this weekend.
The Rangers boss told the media: "Joe (Aribo) is travelling back today and will be back in Glasgow tonight. We will assess him on his return, he will be back for sure come the weekend."
Unfortunately for the club, Ianis Hagi has been ruled out for the season after undergoing surgery this week.
Gio added: "Ianis (Hagi) needed an operation, he went for this yesterday and we will sadly be missing Ianis for the season. I spoke to Ianis yesterday, he is positive and focused on his recovery."
