Dundee United are eyeing up a move for former Rangers flop Bilel Mohsni as they look to reignite their stumbling promotion bid.

The 30-year-old courted controversy during his two-year spell at Ibrox and earned a hefty seven-match ban after lashing out at Lee Erwin after the Premiership playoff defeat to Motherwell in 2015.

He hasn't been spotted on these shores since after being charged with 'excessive misconduct' for his role in the unsavoury incident.

The Championship side are 17 points off leaders St Mirren with three games in hand, but Csaba Lazlo is looking to bolster his backline and the Tunisian is an option, report the Daily Mail

The defender trained with the Tannadice side as he looks to impress the United boss and earn a short-term deal.

Mohsni has lived a nomadic existence since with several stops in the French lower leagues, including Paris FC.

Club legend and chief scout Paul Sturrock recommended the stopper after working with him at Southend.
