Uefa Cup
Aberdeen have been given a boost with the news that Zander Diamond, Barry Nicholson, Andrew Considine and Darren Mackie have been passed fit.

Richie Byrne, Richard Foster, Jackie McNamara, Derek Young and Jamie Smith, however, will all miss the last 32 tie.

Ottmar Hitzfeld's side, currently Bundesliga leaders, visit Pittodrie minus Franck Ribery, Willy Sagnol, Mark van Bommel and Daniel van Buyten.

Christian Lell and Andreas Ottl are likely starters for Bayern.

The Dons face a stern task against the Bavarian outfit, having lost their last two domestic games, conceding nine goals.

Rangers defender David Weir
The experience of Weir will be crucial to Rangers at the back
David Weir reckons keeping a clean sheet against Panathinaikos is the key to Rangers progressing in the Uefa Cup.

The Ibrox defender insists his side must stretch their run of six games without conceding if they are to make it to the last 16 of the competition.

Weir said: "Panathinaikos obviously know how valuable goals are and they will be coming here looking for goals.

"The Aberdeen game showed that they are a quality team and that we will have to show them respect."

The Greek side scored three times without reply when they met the Dons in Athens earlier in the tournament.

"We know it's going to be a tough game and we know we have to perform on the night and over the two legs to progress," added Weir.

Meanwhile, Fifa will not make a decision on Daniel Cousin's move to Fulham until next week, meaning the striker is now available for selection.

Daniel Cousin is available for Rangers with Uefa now waiting until next week to discuss his proposed move to Fulham.

However, Steven Whittaker is a doubt for the first leg of the last 32 tie against the Greek league leaders.

Sasa Papac may slot in at left-back, with Kirk Broadfoot playing on the right, while Jean-Claude Darcheville begins a three-match European ban.

On-loan striker Manucho is out of the Panathinaikos squad for Ibrox following his African Nations Cup exploits.
