Rangers forward Claudio Caniggia has forgiven Chris Sutton for his tackle in the Scottish Cup Final that nearly cost the Argentinian his place in the World Cup Finals.

Caniggia picked up a knee injury in the game, which Rangers went on to win, and feared he would miss out on a trip to Japan and Korea.

"I have nothing against Sutton. I don't think he tried to hurt me on purpose," he said.

"I was really looking forward to the World Cup and that was very disappointing as it was my last chance.''

Caniggia was eventually named in the squad, but played no part in Argentina's poor performance in the competition.
