Rangers midfielder Hamed Namouchi has handed Tunisia coach Roger Lemerre a huge boost by declaring himself fit to play in the World Cup finals.

The 22-year-old has not played since suffering an ankle injury during a reserve game on April 18, but has returned to fitness at just the right time.

A statement from Rangers explained: "There were real concerns that he might not make the Tunisia squad.

"Namouchi went back to France for intensive treatment and was also treated by the Murray Park medical team.

"Now he is back in full training and could feature in Tunisia's warm-up game with Belarus next Tuesday."
