Bougherra free to play

Rangers have been boosted by the news Madjid Bougherra is available to play in their Clydesdale Bank Premier League title-decider against Dundee United.

The defender was ordered off during last week’s win over Aberdeen but today had his red card reduced to a yellow, clearing him for the trip to Tannadice.

Walter Smith has no fresh injury worries for the game which could see Rangers clinch the championship but Kirk Broadfoot has been ruled out for five months with a foot injury.

Provisional squad: Alexander, Whittaker, Bougherra, Weir, Papac, Davis, Mendes, Ferguson, Edu, Lafferty, Fleck, Miller, Boyd, Novo, McGregor, McCulloch, Dailly, Wilson.
