Philippe Clement has revealed Rangers will be without 11 first-team players for the Scottish Premiership match against Dundee.
The Ibrox boss has confirmed a huge number of players will be unavailable for the fixture tomorrow night.
John Lundstram will miss the match through suspension - after being sent off against Celtic - with another 10 players seemingly out through injury.
John Souttar, Connor Goldson, Leon Balogun, Dujon Sterling, Tom Lawrence, Oscar Cortes, Rabbi Matondo, Abdallah Sima, Danilo and Bailey Rice will all sit out the match.
Goldson, Cortes and Danilo were previously ruled out until the summer with Abdallah Sima and Rabbi Matondo building back up to fitness.
Souttar, Sterling and Lawrence all played against Celtic at the weekend but won't be ready to face Dundee on Tuesday night.

The Ibrox boss said: "We have 11 players missing tomorrow, this is a major thing that we need to change heading into next season.
"There is going to be a turnaround in the squad this season, we have been working hard on this for months.
"It is important for now to focus on our next three games, we have to make the best with the players available. There is a chance for players to show on the pitch the next few weeks.
"Souttar, Goldson, Balogun, Sterling, Lundstram, Lawrence, Cortes, Matondo, Sima, Danilo & Rice will all be missing for tomorrow."
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!
