Rangers will be without as many as 10 players for Thursday's Europa League clash with Manchester United at Old Trafford.
Dujon Sterling (foot), John Souttar, Oscar Cortes (both unspecified), Neraysho Kasanwirjo (knee) and ex-Red Devil Tom Lawrence (knock) all remain sidelined with injuries, while Mohamed Diomande is suspended having picked up three yellow cards in the League Phase.
Rafael Fernandes has joined the Gers on loan from Lille, but he is ineligible to represent the club at this stage of the competition, along with Ianis Hagi, Rabbi Matondo and Clinton Nsiala.
After a spell on the sidelines recovering from 'internal bleeding', former Man United loanee Jack Butland has trained and travelled with the Rangers squad, and Philippe Clement will now ponder whether to start the Englishman or Liam Kelly between the sticks.
Leon Balogun could partner Robin Propper in central defence, as captain James Tavernier and Jefte continue as full-backs, while Nicolas Raskin - who has won possession more than any other player in this season's Europa League (48), doing so at least 12 times in three separate matches - is expected to start in centre-midfield alongside Connor Barron, with Nedim Bajrami operating in the number 10 role.
Clement will weigh up whether to stick with top scorer Cyriel Dessers - who netted a hat-trick in last weekend's 5-0 Scottish Cup win over Fraserburgh to increase his tally for the campaign to 16 - or recall Hamza Igamane who has scored four goals in his last four Europa League games.
Ridvan Yilmaz may once again be deployed as a left-winger, while Vaclav Cerny and Ross McCausland are also in contention to start on the flanks.
Rangers possible starting lineup: Kelly; Tavernier, Propper, Balogun, Jefte; Barron, Raskin; Cerny, Bajrami, Yilmaz; Igamane
