Rangers have been dealt an injury blow with Nicolas Raskin forced off against Ajax.
The midfielder had started the friendly contest in the Netherlands but had to be withdrawn before the break.
Raskin limped off the pitch after 43 minutes following a heavy challenge from Branco van den Boomen.
It's unclear how severe the injury is but Raskin looked in discomfort as he left the field to be replaced by Connor Barron.

It comes after Oscar Cortes was left out of the squad as a precaution.
Philippe Clement said: "Nobody will play 90 minutes, it is not possible after a training camp like that. We will have a different team in the second half or last 30 minutes.
"It is important for a lot of guys to get minutes. We had a lot of injuries last season so a lot of players are coming back out of that. We are rebuilding them step by step.
"In that way, Oscar Cortes will not play today. He is fine but he had a really tough week so there is no risk to take in this game.
"But Danilo will take his first minutes after the long injury for more than six months."
