Rangers defender Kyle Bartley will be sidelined for up to four weeks with a groin injury.
The 20-year-old, who is currently on loan from Arsenal, sat out of last weekend's 1-0 defeat to Kilmarnock with the problem.
"Kyle Bartley has a problem with his groin and he is going to be out for three to four weeks," manager Ally McCoist told the club's official website. "It's certainly another problem we could do without because we are stretched."
Bartley could be forced to return to his parent club due to the ongoing financial problems of the SPL champions.
