STEVEN GERRARD is confident midfielder Bongani Zungu is edging closer to his Rangers debut following his move from Amiens.

The South African joined up with the Gers squad last week after spending time in quarantine on his arrival in Glasgow on a loan deal.

Zungu didn't feature against Benfica in the Europa League but could face Hamilton Accies at Ibrox this afternoon.

Gerrard said: "Very much so in terms of him getting towards his level. We have been trying to accelerate that and giving him extra work and top-ups after training and his application and attitude has been fantastic. I am looking to get him involved as soon as possible. He is available for the weekend."
