Philippe Clement has admitted he faces a major Rangers selection puzzle on Thursday after an injury to Dujon Sterling.
The 25-year-old was forced off against Hibernian with a foot issue on Sunday and is now a doubt for the midweek trip to Dens Park.
Clement is already without John Souttar and Leon Balogun remains a doubt to come back into contention.
It leaves the Rangers manager with just Robin Propper as a recognised first-team centre-back with Leon King and Clinton Nsiala drafted into the matchday squad.

Asked for an update on Sterling, Clement explained: "I don't have a clue for the moment.
"So Dujon got a kick on his foot. He had to come off because of that. So we will see how serious the injury is.
"I don't know if Leon will be back, and for sure not others. So we need to puzzle towards Thursday, so we will focus on that the next couple of days."
Pushed for any timeline indication on a return for Souttar, Clement added: "That will be still several weeks. He will not be back in a short time."
