Ianis Hagi has returned to the Rangers first-team squad.
The 26-year-old has been reinstated to Philippe Clement's side after a stand-off over a contract clause.
Hagi - who spent last season on loan at Alaves in La Liga - has not been part of the Ibrox first-team since making a cameo appearance against Morton in August 2023.
Philippe Clement previously stated the playmaker was not viewed as a permanent fixture in the long-term at Rangers.
A contract clause - which would reportedly have seen Hagi's wage increased due to the numbers of matches played - complicated the situation for the Romanian internationalist after he failed to leave the club in the summer.

The Rangers Review reports that a solution has been reached between the player and the club to allow a return to the first-team.
There is thought to have been a desire from both sides for a solution to be reached after the lengthy stand-off with Hagi playing only for the B team.
The midfielder has now returned to first-team training at Rangers and could be available against St Johnstone this weekend.
Hagi is not in contention to face Lyon in the Europa League as he is not part of the registered list of players for the UEFA competition.
It's thought Hagi is fit and ready to participate if called upon having maintained his fitness levels even while out of the first-team picture.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
