The Super Eagles number 10 is all but ready to face the Black Stars a week on Friday with his inclusion in Rangers' starting lineup for their Europa League round of 16 second leg clash against Red Star Belgrade at Stadion Rajko Mitic - Belgrade on Thursday evening.
Before now, there was uncertainty over the availability of Aribo for the back-to-back games against the Black Stars having suffered a minor injury during the first leg tie against the Serbian team last Thursday.
The Nigeria midfielder is back in the Rangers squad after his omission from the Scottish Cup clash against Dundee FC on March 13.
Rangers are unchanged from the side which started the first leg match with Red Star Belgrade, meaning two other Super Eagles invitees for the matches against Ghana in Leon Balogun and Calvin Bassey start from the very beginning.
Balogun starts in central defence, Bassey has been deployed at left-back and the left-footed Aribo will play as an inverted winger.
The three players will jet off to join their international teammates following Rangers' Scottish Premiership clash with Dundee FC on Sunday.
