Philippe Clement has confirmed four Rangers first-team players are fit and back in training ahead of the match against Hibs.
Dujon Sterling, Kieran Dowell, Abdallah Sima and Ross McCausland have all returned to training with their Rangers team-mates.
The Ibrox boss confirmed the fitness boost at his press conference on Friday ahead of the Scottish Premiership return fixture against Hibs at Ibrox.
However, he admitted Ridvan Yilmaz, Ryan Jack, Oscar Cortes and Danilo are all out.
Yilmaz was injured on international duty with Turkiye but could yet return to Rangers action next week.

Clement said: "Sterling, Dowell, Sima and McCausland are back in training.
"Ridvan, Jack, Cortes & Danilo are out. Ridvan is not long-term, but we will see next week.
The returning players are all back in contention, but not for 90 minutes. We need to make good choices around this.
"Sima has been a long-term out so you can't expect miracles from the start. He has that quality with pace and goals, it is now about building rhythm again."
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
