Coupet targets return at Rangers

Grégory Coupet's long trail back from a serious knee injury took another important step yesterday when the Olympique Lyonnais goalkeeper returned to training.

'Boost'
The 34-year-old ruptured a cruciate ligament just two days before the start of the Ligue 1 campaign three-and-a-half months ago, and is eyeing a return before the end of the UEFA Champions League group stage. "We did not push him too hard in his session but seeing him back is a boost for us," said coach Alain Perrin, who may be able to call on the France international for the Matchday 6 encounter away to Rangers FC on 12 December.
