How many Rangers players are away on international duty?
Derek McInnes will be without a significant group of players during this final international break of 2026, with ten Rangers stars away to answer their country’s call.
Some will see game time, while others haven’t been featuring at Ibrox, which could impact things.
Back at Auchenhowie, valuable rest time will be granted to the likes of Dujon Sterling, but the work continues.
Of the international players, three of them are with Scotland for Nations League games at home to North Macedonia on Friday then away to Switzerland on Monday.
Backup goalkeeper Liam Kelly and winger Findlay Curtis are joined by James Penrice, who has earned his first call-up at the age of 27 after a very impressive start to his loan spell from AEK Athens.
Elsewhere, Nicolas Raskin is with Belgium for a trip to Turkey and a home game against Italy.
Kosta Nedeljkovic and Vanja Dragojevic have both been named in the Serbia squad, who face Germany away before hosting Greece. The pair really need minutes on the pitch.
Two Rangers players set to clash
Two key Rangers players could come face to face in Osijek.
Goalkeeper Ivor Pandur and Croatia travel to England for a Wembley date before hosting Czechia, with Ryan Naderi and Czechia taking on Spain before that meeting with Croatia on 15 November.
Further afield, Olwethu Makhanya is with South Africa for an AFCON qualifying double-header against Kenya.
Kevin Kelsy has joined Venezuela for friendlies against the Basque Country and Russia.
There was one setback. Minsu Kim was called up by South Korea’s Under-21s but has had to withdraw with a calf injury picked up against St Mirren.
Thankfully, he is expected to be fit for the trip to Motherwell on 21 November.
Other usual international regulars will stay at the training centre this time around.
Emmanuel Fernandez, Badredine Bouanani, Djeidi Gassama and Bojan Miovski were all not selected, meaning they will be fresh and ready for the resumption of domestic action with the visit to Motherwell next Saturday.
