Michael Beale has confirmed that both Connor Goldson and Ryan Jack are back in contention as Rangers face Servette tomorrow.
The key Ibrox duo missed Saturday's Scottish Premiership win over Livingston, but Beale later confirmed they were left out as a precaution with Tuesday's huge Champions League qualifier to come.
John Lundstram will miss the trip to Geneva due to family reasons and the midfielder is the only confirmed absentee as Rangers look to secure their spot in the play-off rounds of the competition.
Beale explained: "We have no issues. We mentioned John Lundstram wouldn’t be travelling but Connor’s back. Ryan’s had a nice rest so he’ll be running around tomorrow.
“It’s a huge game. We understand that and know that Servette did fantastically well here a couple of weeks ago against Genk.
“Everything is to play for, the tie is open and the fact it’s in front of a full-house makes the game even more special."
Servette will be boosted by the return of striker Enzo Crivelli, who missed the first leg at Ibrox due to suspension after he was red carded against Genk in the previous round of qualification.
The Frenchman will likely be utilised from the start for the Swiss side, but Beale insists he won't change his approach due to the new striking presence.
He said: “No of course he was missing in the last game but it won’t change our approach."
Meanwhile, Beale issued a Rangers transfer update with speculation mounting on both incomings and outgoings.
Glen Kamara remains an Ibrox player but has been linked with Leeds United in recent weeks and updating on the midfielder, Beale said: "There’s nothing in that one at this moment."
Reports also suggested that Rangers were keen to bring in former Aberdeen defender Zak Vyner, who is currently plying his trade at Bristol City.
In a swift response, Beale shut down the rumours adding: "There is no truth in that whatsoever."
