Rangers take on Reading reserves at Loftus Road on Tuesday afternoon and Marc Bircham faces a late fitness test.

As a result, the team will not be announced until the midfielder has been put through his paces.

There is good news for Rangers in that Jake Cole returns from injury although he may have to start the game on the bench.

Marcin Kus has recovered from his knock and is expected to start in defence.

Squad: Thomas, Ukah, Kus, Howell, Johnson, Santos, Bailey, Youssouf, Baidoo, Townsend, Yelland, O'Connell, Bircham, Cole, Bernard.

Kick off is 2pm at Loftus Road.
