SCOTT ARFIELD is ready and raring to go for Rangers as he looks to get over his Gold Cup disappointment.

The midfielder saw his silverware aspirations come to a premature end last month as Canada were beaten in the quarter-finals by Haiti.

But he is back in Light Blue as Steven Gerrard’s side prepare for their Europa League clash with St Joseph’s.

Arfield said: “I feel good and it is down to the sports scientist and the manager.

“Every player wants to play games and train, that is just a footballer’s view on it.

“The boys have worked extremely hard on their fitness so I probably am behind it.

“In terms of tournament football, you play and recover and you had the travelling on the back of it.

“I had the days to rest before I came in last Monday so, in my mind, I am ready to go. Hopefully if I get a shot I am ready to take that opportunity.”

Arfield was a key performer for boss Gerrard during his first campaign at Ibrox but it was to prove a frustrating summer for the 30-year-old.

Canada were 2-0 up against Haiti before a second half collapse saw them crash out.

Arfield said: “It was a good tournament and good to experience it again but it was horrendous how it finished against a team that we were firm favourites against and in a game that was in our control.

“That is the biggest disappointment but, overall, it was a good experience away.

“If you look at the squad we have got now and the teams that the players represent, it is on a high and it is good to be part of that going forward. It is a good time for Canada to keep going and hopefully these mistakes, individual mistakes and collective mistakes, in two years time when we get another go we can be better.”

Arfield is now captain of his adopted country. And he has no regrets about choosing Canada over Scotland.

He said: “Not at all. Not one bit. That just passed so quickly. When I made the decision when I was at Burnley, I think I was 25, 26 and I wanted to go. I don’t think about it whatsoever.

“There are still people that question it and that is probably my desire to make it better. I am thankful people do still question it, people that are very close to me still question it. That is probably why I am so in it and I want to succeed.”
