Philippe Clement has revealed two Rangers players will return to action against Hearts - but seven others missed training through injury.
The Ibrox boss confirmed Ryan Jack and Abdallah Sima could return to competitive Scottish Premiership action tomorrow.
However, the pair will be limited to "very little" game time as they make their first step back from injury.
Meanwhile, a late judgement call will be made on Leon Balogun with a question mark over any involvement on Saturday.
Clement explained: "Sima will be back in selection to play some minutes, very little as his first step back.
"Ryan Jack is also the same. Leon Balogun is a question mark for tomorrow but is close to returning."
The Belgian boss then confirmed seven players are still missing from training through various knocks.
John Souttar, Connor Goldson, Borna Barisic, Tom Lawrence, Oscar Cortes, Rabbi Matondo and Danilo all remain sidelined.
Clement added: "Souttar, Goldson, Barisic, Lawrence, Cortes, Matondo and Danilo are missing from training with injury.
"Everyone else in the squad now has a fight to make the selection for the cup final."
On the injury issues which have plagued the club this season, Clement said: "There are players who have played almost every game, there are individual cases.
"It is clear with the level of injuries we need to break this cycle to make the squad more strong.
"We want a team that can compete all the time."
