Philippe Clement has confirmed that Tom Lawrence will miss Rangers' Europa League tie against Tottenham Hotspur tomorrow night.
The Wales international has been out of action since the Scottish League Cup semi-final win over Motherwell at the start of November.
At the time, Clement ruled the attacking midfielder out for 'four to six weeks'.
And with the cup final against Celtic coming up in a few days too, it would seem that Lawrence is a potential doubt.
"Nana is of course out, you all know," he said. "And Tom Lawrence will also be out for the game.
"And Rabbi Matondo is training with the team, but not fit enough yet to be in a squad.
"Oscar Cortes is coming closer, but that's for a few minutes then. Not for too long, but he is available for a squad."
Clement insists that despite Spurs' recent poor form, he is expecting an almighty test for his players when the Premier League side arrive on Thursday evening.

He said: "It's a big challenge, but that's what we like, that's what we love, that's what we want here also. We had already in this past year a few really good opponents here in European nights.
"This club has a big history in that. So for the players, these are very challenging and really nice evenings that they can write history in that way.
"So that's why players want to play for Rangers also, or it's one of the reasons for that.
"I think a few weeks ago I saw them play against Man City. They were not in such a bad place at that moment.
"So it's Premier League, it's the highest level in the world in that way. And things are really close together, so you can lose points there. I think it's still a really good team.”
