Danny Rohl has revealed the reasons for Youssef Chermiti and Emmanuel Fernandez missing Rangers' clash against Kilmarnock.
The key pair are not in the matchday squad for the Scottish Premiership fixture at Ibrox this evening.
Dujon Sterling is also missing from the squad, with no January signings involved for Rohl.
Andreas Skov Olsen, Tochi Chukwuani, Tuur Rommens and Ryan Naderi are all on the bench for Rangers.
Fernandez misses out with a knee problem while Chermiti required stitches after a tackle during the match against Hibs, with the strikers struggling to walk.

Asked for an update on the missing trio on Rangers TV, Rohl said: "Not an easy one.
"Dujon was clear, we have to manage him to come through the next game. To have a double game in 72 hours, it's too tough and we have to decide and manage him.
"Manny and Youssef unfortunately, they are not available.
"Manny has a little bit small issues with his knee. I think he played a lot of minutes, it's tough we miss him because we were really on fire.
"Youssef I think it was the second half against Hibs, there was a bad foul on him and he has a big cut. We had to stitch him with seven stitches; he cannot really walk at the moment."
Starting XI: Butland, Tavernier, Djiga, Souttar, Meghoma, Raskin, Diomande, Aasgaard, Moore, Gassama, Miovski.
Subs: Kelly, Wright, Aarons, Rommens, Chukwuani, Antman, Bajrami, Skov Olsen, Naderi.
