Gio Van Bronckhorst's bulging injury list is weighing heavy but he knows three points is all that matters against St Mirren.
Rangers top scorer Antonio Colak will miss the game. Ryan Jack returns but Fashion Sakala, Ridvan Yilmaz, Kemar Roofe, Connor Goldson, Filip Helander, John Souttar, Ianis Hagi and Tom Lawrence are out. James Sands is in contention after picking up a knock which forced him off in the 1-0 win over Hearts midweek.
It's all about three points for Rangers as they aim to be no worse than seven behind champions Celtic to give them a shot of regrouping when Scottish football's top flight exits cold storage after the World Cup. Meanwhile, St Mirren's Declan Gallagher will be fit to feature despite coming off late in the 2-2 draw with St Johnstone on Wednesday night.
But all eyes will be on the Van Bronckhorst as the Rangers boss aims to find the right selection to keep the supporters off his back after a sobering start to the season. Record Sport runs the rule over how they could line up.
Predicted Rangers XI
Expect Alfredo Morelos to replace Colak up top and Scott Wright seems a banker to start on the right wing after putting Rabbi Matondo in the shade as he looked razor sharp off the bench against Hearts.
