Rangers midfielder Lee McCulloch has declared himself fit for next week's UEFA Cup Final meeting with Zenit St Petersburg in Manchester.
The Scotland international had feared his season was over when he suffered a suspected broken foot in last month's 2-1 Old Firm defeat to Celtic at Parkhead.
But following three weeks on the sidelines, McCulloch could feature in Saturday's Scottish Premier League clash with Dundee United.
Referring to the European final, he said: "I've trained again today (Thursday) so I feel all right and I think I will be fit for it, but it's up to the manager who is going to play.
"Two weeks ago I thought my season was over, so it's good to have a bit of hope. To get a run-out on Saturday would be brilliant.
"I was told my foot was broken, then a couple of days later when the swelling went down I had a scan and found it was only bone bruising.
"Everybody wants to play, myself included, but if the manager doesn't pick me I'll get on with it."
