Rangers boss Gio van Bronckhorst is facing several selection dilemmas ahead of his side's return against Aberdeen.
The Premiership champions don't have their problems to seek with Steven Davis and Scott Arfield absent due to injury.
Joe Aribo is also missing for Rangers as he is at the Africa Cup of Nations but Cedric Itten is available after returning from his loan spell at Greuther Furth.
Filip Helander has started training but won’t be ready to feature in this game. Kemar Roofe and Ryan Jack will return to training this week.
James Sands will be aiming to make his Rangers debut in midfield but John Lundstram and and Juninho Bacuna will also be hoping for the nod.
Former Sheffiled United star Lundstram wasn't in the squad against St Mirren after failing to impress against Dundee United.
Rangers will be aiming to secure a win over their fierce rivals to re-establish their six-point advantage over Celtic at the top of the Scottish Premiership.
