R’s at near-full strength for Everton test

RANGERS may be without Fabio da Silva (hamstring) for Sunday’s visit of Everton but boss Mark Hughes says that his team are ‘in better shape’ ahead of the weekend.

Hughes also confirmed that he will make a late call on Armand Traore, while Samba Diakite is back in contention after a one-game suspension.
