The Algeria international was a surprise participant as Ally McCoist’s squad returned for pre-season training.
The centre-back made 65 appearances for Hearts before leaving for Greek football in 2011 but a return to Scottish football did not go to plan last season.

The Rangers official website stated that McCoist would “assess Bouzid over the next few days”.
There was no sign of Bouzid’s former Killie team-mate, Kris Boyd, who has held talks over a Rangers return amid interest from Scottish Premiership clubs such as Aberdeen.
