St Johnstone and Rangers resume their Scottish Premiership campaigns at lunchtime before the 10 other top-flight teams return to action.
tells BBC Radio Scotland's Sportsound:"I'm delighted to have [Tom Lawrence] back. Danilo has had a couple of bits going on but now he's in the right moment physically and mentally to contribute.
"We'd have liked a game to have come quicker, but it's given us time on the training pitch. Ben [Davies] and Ridvan [Yilmaz] have been able to get up to speed. "We need to prove something to ourselves as much as anybody else. We're not executing in the final third, that puts anxiety in the team so it's important we start well today.
"We've got seven games in 22 days, if you win games there's no pressure. There's a little bit of stress with noise in the background, which isn't helpful, but they are football players and they signed up for it, I signed up for it as well."Image caption: Rangers manager Michael Beale faces a busy run of games ahead
