Ben Godfrey is fit and available following his return to action as a substitute against Aberdeen despite a knock late in the game involving goalkeeper Ivan Pandur, he could start for the first time since the Gers’ opening day draw with Dundee United at Tannadice.
Youssef Chermiti is out long-term after picking up an ACL injury against Hibernian last month, while forgotten man Jose Cifuentes is also out following surgery. Ashton Scally remains sidelined due to a recovery from an injury that caused him to miss the full of pre-season.
Lyall Cameron is set to complete a season-long loan move to Dundee United and won’t feature.
Nicolas Raskin has not made the past two of McInnes’s matchday squads for Jablonec and the Dons but could feature tomorrow after the Gers’ boss confirmed “no bids” have been made for the Belgian international.
Bojan Miovski, John Souttar, Clinton Nsiala, Ross McCausland and Mason Munn are all linked with Ibrox exits and are unlikely to feature ahead of Thursday’s deadline day in Scotland.
