Philippe Clement has revealed Nicolas Raskin remains on the sidelines for Rangers ahead of their trip to face Aberdeen, but Rabbi Matondo could be set for a new role at Ibrox.
And the Belgian boss is also without another midfield man with Scotland star Ryan Jack a doubt for the trip to face Barry Robson's men.
Rangers lost to the Dons earlier in their Scottish Premiership campaign in a game that would signal the end for Michael Beale's tenure at Ibrox, but the contingent in Govan have something to smile about with Clement unbeaten since his arrival in post.
On the injury front, not so smiley as luckless Kemar Roofe, who has made only brief returns to action since the summer, is also working along the recovery trail according to the Ibrox gaffer.
