Madjid Bougherra should be fit enough to feature in the League Cup final against Celtic despite being substituted in Sunday's FA Cup victory against Hamilton.

The 26-year-old Algerian defender picked up a calf injury during the 5-1 quarter-final win but Ally McCoist insists the change was made only as a precaution.

He said: "Madjid is fine and we didn't actually take him off because of the injury. He was away back home for a few days seeing his mum so we took him off for that reason.

"I'd be lying to you if I said I had been into the physio's room for myself to see how Madjid is doing but it would be a major surprise to me if he wasn't fine."
