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."
