Rangers are facing a nervous wait following the end of the International break after two key first-team players picked up injuries when representing their countries.
Both John Souttar and Derek Cornelius suffered knocks in the second of two matches while turning out for Scotland and Canada, respectively.
However, Danny Rohl will also welcome back a few individuals who ought to be buoyed by their exploits in the last 10 days.
The Rangers Review takes a closer look at how Rangers' international call-ups fared over the break below...
Scotland - John Souttar, Liam Kelly & Connor Barron
Scotland made it to their first World Cup since 1998 after a dramatic 4-2 win over Denmark at Hampden. Liam Kelly, John Souttar, and Connor Barron were all in Steve Clarke's squad for the games against the Danes and the previous 3-2 loss to Greece.
While Kelly and Barron didn't feature in either match, Souttar played the full 90 minutes in Athens. However, concerningly for Rangers fans, the defender suffered an injury during a warm-up ahead of the second outing.
Souttar was due to start for Scotland in the crucial World Cup qualifying showdown against Denmark on Tuesday night, having started in Greece on Saturday in a 3-2 defeat. Rohl now faces a wait to see if he will be fit to face Livingston this weekend.
Norway - Thelo Aasgaard
Thelo Aasgaard came off the bench to play 15 minutes of Norway’s eye-catching 4-1 win over Italy in the San Siro. It was a result that meant that Norway qualified for their first World Cup since 1998.
Led by Erling Haaland, Norway finished their qualifying campaign with a perfect record of 8 wins out of 8 and an astonishing goal difference of +32. Aasgaard caught the eye with a hat trick during an 11-1 win over Moldova in September.
Belgium - Nico Raskin
Belgium sealed qualification to next year's World Cup, finishing two points above second-place Wales in Group J.
Nico Raskin played 89 minutes in Belgium’s 1-1 draw with Kazakhstan. Belgium found themselves 1-0 down to Kairat Alamaty striker Denis Satpaev’s early strike, but secured a draw thanks to a leveller from Club Brugge's Hans Vanaken.
The midfielder then played the full match in the emphatic 7-0 win over Liechtenstein. 24-year-old Raskin has made himself something of a stalwart in Rudi Garcia's side and will have keen aspirations of being a pivotal part of the Red Devils squad in the USA, Canada and Mexico.
North Macedonia - Bojan Miovski
Bojan Miovski made a cameo performance for his country in a goalless friendly draw with Latvia before taking on Wales in their final World Cup qualifying match.

In the Cardiff City Stadium, the forward netted after 23 minutes but found himself on the end of a 7-1 demolition from a Welsh side inspired by hat-trick hero and captain Harry Wilson.
However, the above goal is the type of move Miovski thrives on: profiting from a well-timed run into space. The 26-year-old will be looking to the two club goals he's managed this season upon returning to Glasgow.
Albania - Nedim Bajrami
Nedim Bajrami featured in both of Albania's final two World Cup qualifying matches. He was introduced on the hour mark against Andorra with the match level at 0-0, before his side went on the pick up all three points by a one-goal margin.
Last week, his international manager Sylvinho defended including the midfielder in his squad given a lack of playing time at Ibrox.
He said : "Bajrami has been part of a very good journey with us. Do you know who our top scorer has been in the last three years? It's Bajrami with seven goals. So I want players who know how to score goals in my squad.
"It's true that I am not happy or satisfied with his position at his club. And he is not satisfied either. But I look at his numbers and have faith in him."
Bajrami then started against England in Tirana, but was replaced after Harry Kane gave the visitors the lead on 75 minutes. The Bayern Munich striker added a second as Albania finished second in Group K, ten points behind Thomas Tuchel's side, who romped the section.
Finland - Oliver Antman
Finland suffered a shock 1-0 loss at home to Malta to hand their opponents their first win of the campaign before following that up with a 4-0 friendly win over Andorra.
Interestingly, Oliver Antman was deployed in a position perhaps unfamiliar to those who have watched him in a Rangers jersey so far this season. Operating in a left wing-back role of a 3-4-3, Antman notched his first goal for his country in the friendly win.
This may present an interesting new opportunity for Danny Rohl to integrate the 24-year-old into the side after he has struggled to make his mark so far.
Antman started so brightly on the right wing during a debut against Viktoria Plzen. The issue? Rangers continue to be stocked with left-sided options but no consistency on the right, until Mikey Moore's recent performances, operating in a free role from that wing.
Burkina Faso - Nasser Djiga
Nasser Djiga was a substitute in Burkina Faso’s brace of wins against Benin and Niger. The Wolves loanee, who has been another that's looked shot of confidence in recent weeks, may well be called upon at the weekend depending on the fitness of Souttar and Cornelius.
Canada - Derek Cornelius
Derek Cornelius was an unused substitute as Canada drew 0-0 with Ecuador in a friendly, with reports coming out of the camp that he was dealing with a slight muscle injury.
Cornelius had missed the 2-0 defeat against Roma, having gone down late against Celtic in the League Cup semi-final with a knock.
The defender started in his side's 2-0 win over Venezuela, but worryingly, he was withdrawn just after the half-hour mark, feeling like he was unable to continue. Cornelius has played 12 times for Rangers since arriving on deadline day. Now, with the potential injury to Souttar, his absence poses a dilemma at the back for Rohl and his staff.
Portugal Under 21s -Youssef Chermiti
Youssef Chermiti played 57 minutes for Portugal’s under-21s in their 0-0 draw with Czechia. The forward had spoken earlier this week about his ambition to reach the first team, stating, “My goal is to reach the senior national team, and I will continue to do my work to achieve it. I am waiting for my opportunity to arrive.”

The 21-year-old has scored just once for Rangers since joining the club in the summer and, like Miovski, will be relied upon to improve that return over a busy upcoming run of fixtures.
England Under 20s - Jayden Meghoma
It was a watershed moment for the on-loan Brentford left back, who captained his country for the very first time. Meghoma wore the armband for England Under-20s as they drew 1-1 with Japan in Doncaster on Friday night.
England Under 19s - Mikey Moore
England Under-19s are currently involved in qualifying for the European Championships and they took one step closer with two wins. Mikey Moore played the full 90 minutes as his side took down Lithuania 2-0 before the side made it 3 wins out of 3 with a convincing 4-0 rout of Scotland; however, Moore didn't feature in the second of the two fixtures.
