McCulloch tested at centre-half

McCulloch enjoyed a spell at centre-half for Rangers reserves.

Lee McCulloch could find himself playing centre-half after featuring at the back for Rangers' reserves in a 1-1 draw with Kilmarnock.

The former Scotland midfielder told the club website he would have no trouble playing at centre-half in the future.

The 30-year-old was joined by Christian Dailly in defence after Rangers' reserve coach suggested the switch.

"You're never too young to learn and, wherever the gaffer wants me to play, I will play," said McCulloch.

Rangers manager Walter Smith and assistant Ally McCoist watched the whole match, with McCulloch bidding to regain match fitness following a knee injury.

McCulloch said of the experience: "I really enjoyed playing in defence, although it is a totally different game when the match is played in front of you all the time.

"It's quite strange to be facing the midfield and the strikers, but it was interesting.

"If I am asked to play there again, I will be more than happy to do so."

McCulloch recently announced his retirement from international football after being left out of the Scotland squad since George Burley took over as manager.
