Scott Arfield has not ruled out a stunning U-Turn on his Canada decision as the Rangers midfielder's chances of playing at the World Cup are given hope.

He confirmed in January he had opted to focus on his club career, a decision he felt vindicated by Rangers winning the Premiership in 2021, since also scooping the Scottish Cup and a Europa League final slot.

"But you never say never in football and what it throws at you and you're always open to these things."
