Bougherra expected back at Rangers

Rangers boss Walter Smith expects Madjid Bougherra to report back for training at Murray Park and to be available for selection for Tuesday's Champions League game. The Algerian was once again late returning from international duty after helping his country qualify for next summer's World Cup finals.

Speaking after the 3-0 win over Kilmarnock, Smith said: "Madjid will be in training tomorrow and I would imagine he would be available for us [for Tuesday] but we will have to see how he is after his midweek game.

"I haven't seen him yet. He's not spoken to anyone but I take it he is okay. Normally if they are injured, they let us know. He hasn't done so so I take it he is all right."
