Madjid Bougherra will play his final game for the Scottish champions before joining up with the Algeria squad for the African Nations Cup.
Steven Naismith could recover from a hamstring injury to play a part against United or Celtic on Sunday.
But it is more likely that he, along with Kevin Thomson (calf) and DaMarcus Beasley (thigh), will return for the game against Hamilton in a couple of weeks.
Rangers (from): McGregor, Papac, Weir, Bougherra, Broadfoot, Davis, McCulloch, Novo, Lafferty, Edu, Miller, Whittaker, Boyd, Smith, Fleck, Little, Wilson, Alexander.
