Rangers will have to try to get back to winning ways without five key players for their trip to St Johnstone.
Aaron Ramsey is again unavailable and is joined on the absentee list by fellow January recruit Amad Diallo as well as Ryan Jack, Filip Helander and Steven Davis.
Welsh superstar Ramsey has managed just 94 minutes since joining on loan from Juventus in a loan deal reportedly worth around £2.5million.
Giovanni van Bronckhorst hopes the 31-year-old “will join the team very soon” with Helander and Jack battling to be fit for Saturday’s visit of Aberdeen.
The Dutchman, looking to bounce back from the disappointment of Sunday’s 2-2 draw against Motherwell, said: “Ramsey, Davis, Amad, Jack and Helander are not available for tomorrow. Hopefully he (Ramsey) will join the team very soon.
“He is already working out on the pitch again. He is very disappointed and looking forward to a return.
“Helander and Jack should be back for the weekend, Amad next week.”
Van Bronckhorst has demanded his team are more ruthless in front of goal in Perth and said: “We need to get the three points.
“We are disappointed with the weekend but we have to react and get the three points tomorrow.
“We have got to convert our chances into goals. This is a point we need to improve and we are working on this.
“We have to be more ruthless in attack and defend better in our remaining matches.
“Hopefully, tomorrow we see a difference. I know the club and understand this comes with pressure and questions.
“For me, the most important thing is to be clear on our path and how we want to play as a team.
“Everyone is entity to have an opinion, that is the beauty of football. We still have ten games to go and we are there for the fight.
"When you analyse goals against you know players will get the blame but we have to take responsibility as a team and for me as a coach.
"We win, draw and lose as a team but you have to overcome them and move forward."
