Rangers winger Chris Burke faces a race against time to be fit for Sunday's CIS Insurance Cup final.

Nacho Novo and Charlie Adam are suspended, while Steven Naismith is cup-tied but striker Jean-Claude Darcheville returns to the squad.

Dundee United manager Craig Levein is hopeful defender Lee Wilkie will shake off a virus for the Hampden Park clash.
