Motherwell and Rangers will head into Saturday's Premiership match at Fir Park nursing fitness concerns.
The Steelmen arrived at this fixture as a top six club after clinching their spot with a dramatic 2-2 draw with Livingston last time out.
Now they face a battle with Giovanni van Bronckhorst's side, looking to move closer to claiming a European spot, knowing fifth would be enough to do so.
'Well boss Graham Alexander says the Steelmen will enter battle though with a couple stars out, while another is touch and go.
The 50-year-old said: "Our squad is looking reasonably good. We have a couple of players still missing which is a disappointment.
"We are assessing one at least to see how they are. I think we have roughly the same squad we had in the last game."
Rangers boss van Bronckhorst has injury worries to contend with too ahead of kick-off in Lanarkshire.
Star winter signing Aaron Ramsey will miss out while striker Kemar Roofe is also missing. The Light Blues have the away leg of their Europa League semi-final with RB Leipzig and a crucial league match with Celtic to come after Motherwell.
He said: "Ramsey we will hopefully have him back around the Leipzig home game.
"We also had a problem with Roofe after the game with his knee, for him it is the same out for some weeks and hopefully returns around the Leipzig home match."
