Rangers will be without defender James Tavernier for the Scottish Cup fourth round tie against Motherwell at Ibrox on Saturday, live on Sky Sports 2 HD from 12pm.
The right-back is suspended for the match after earning two bookings in the competition last season and is likely to be replaced by Lee Hodson.
Rangers captain Lee Wallace will return to action after missing the recent matches against St Johnstone and Celtic because of a thigh strain.
Forward Joe Garner injured his shoulder in the defeat to Celtic at the end of the December and will be out for another three weeks after a scam eventually revealed the extent of the problem.
January signings Emerson Hyndman and Jon Toral are included in the squad and could make their debuts in the match.
Rangers are hoping to go one better than last season's heroics when they reached the Scottish Cup final and were beaten by their then Championship rivals Hibernian.
Motherwell manager Mark McGhee will be without midfielder Lee Lucas, who is ruled out of the trip to Glasgow through suspension.
Lucas is starting a two-match ban after being sent off against Lanarkshire neighbours Hamilton last month
The Steelmen will have Joe Chalmers and Ross MacLean back in the squad though as both have fully recovered from injuries.
Full-back Chalmers could make his first appearance since September after overcoming a groin injury, while MacLean is also in line for a return after recovering from the broken toe which has kept the academy graduate out for the past five weeks.
Kieran Kennedy (hip) and Jacob Blyth (thigh) remain out of action while Dom Thomas has joined Queen of the South on loan.
