Grant Hanley Ready for World Cup After Injury

Scotland defender Grant Hanley, 34, announced he is fit for the upcoming World Cup. Hanley is contracted to Hibernian Football Club in the Scottish Premiership.

Earlier in his career Hanley admitted he once believed a World Cup appearance was beyond his reach. The defender has battled recurring injuries throughout his playing years. With his fitness confirmed, Hanley will join Scotland's squad for the tournament. The team will rely on his experience ahead of the opening fixtures.
