Alex Rae believes that Rangers boss Danny Rohl will slot Emmanuel Fernandez back into the team against Falkirk and feels international action led to him not being risked at the weekend.
After starting five successive league games, Fernandez missed Rangers’ 4-2 win against Dundee United in the Scottish Premiership on Saturday.
It was the Glasgow team’s first game since the international break, where Fernandez had gone away with the Nigeria national team, after pledging his allegiance to Eric Chelle’s side.
During that period, the 24-year-old took part in two friendlies for the Super Eagles, against Iran and Jordon.

The 56-year-old remains positive about the manager’s reverting to his preferred line-up for the game against Falkirk next weekend, which means he can see Fernandez coming back in.
Asked whether Rohl will revert back to his back two against Falkirk, Rae told Clyde 1 Superscoreboard (1.05.11): “Yes, I would suggest that it could be the case.
