Bramble Return

Defender Titus Bramble's return to training has given the manager a major boost.

"Titus has trained this week," Souness confirmed. "He'll be fit to play a part at the weekend. In my time at the club I've had no complaints with him. He's been excellent for us. He's worked very hard one on one with the fitness coach Paul Winsper and with his natural fitness and the position he plays in we're confident he'll be fine.

"It's just a matter of getting him doing ball work now and he's also had a bit of contact work. He's come through it fine so far."
