Rangers striker Ryan Naderi has switched allegiance to Czechia before the England game on Tuesday.

The Germany-born forward is eligible to play for Czechia through his mother and has decided to represent them.

Santi Denia's team were in action against the Three Lions at home on 29 September in the UEFA Nations League.

While Naderi won't face England at Fortuna Arena, he may have a chance to make his debut in upcoming matches.

Czechia travel to Spain next before their final game of the three-week international break against Thomas Tuchel's team at Wembley Stadium.

With the Glaswegian outfit's attacker set to join his national side's training tomorrow, it may not be long before Denia counts on him.

What Nations League rules mean for Ryan Naderi away from Rangers?

Naderi was left disappointed at Rangers after a paperwork holdup possibly meant he wouldn't feature for Czechia during this break.

However, it looks like Czechia have cut through the red tape and finally included the Gers striker, who has been in fine form for Derek McInnes, in their squad.

Although Naderi wasn't included in Denia's initial Nations League squad, he can still represent them in the upcoming matches.

UEFA requires nations to submit a 23-player squad list before 23:59 Central European Time a day before their fixture.

In theory, if Czechia feel Naderi is ready, he could potentially feature against Spain or in the second game against England.

What Ryan Naderi prospects mean for Derek McInnes

Naderi joins a long list of Rangers players who have joined their respective nations for the international break.

McInnes is without some key players at Ibrox right now and it will certainly hinder his preparation for the upcoming matches.

The former Hansa Rostock striker has poured his blood and sweat for the Scottish manager in recent matches.

Naderi's defensive work was praised in the two Celtic matches, as he didn't give the opposition defence room to breathe.

McInnes will hope the striker doesn't become too fatigued on international duty before he returns to Ibrox.
