Rangers have a series of players with deals running out in the summer that could be directly impacted by the shutdown.
The SPFL have suspended the league due to the outbreak of the coronavirus and players with expiring deals in the summer is another area that needs addressed if the season is extended.
Contracts typically run until May 31 or June 30 and although there is a chance players may be given an option to sign extension waivers, it's not set in stone. These are unprecented times.
Former Liverpool and Spurs director of football Damien Comolli told BBC Radio 5 Live: "Legally, players' contracts end on June 30. So if the season has to go beyond June 30, we will have to do some special contracts or shorten contracts of a month or two months, which has never been before.
"There is no provision in the UEFA Players' Statute Regulation to do this. That is another aspect."
For Rangers there are a total of 15 players who are facing this uncertainty.
