Amid such a hectic run of fixtures between now and the January transfer window opening, Rangers boss Philippe Clement will know his squad is going to be tested to the max over the coming weeks.
The former AS Monaco boss has some tough calls to make with the Viaplay Cup Final, a crucial Europa League encounter away to Real Betis and the Old Firm derby showdown against Celtic on December 30th taking centre stage.
Amidst that potentially season-defining run of fixtures, there are league games against Hearts, Dundee, St Johnstone, Motherwell and Ross County to navigate this month and Clement could be tempted to present an opportunity to several players who have yet to feature or haven't played a great deal under the Belgian's regime.
The January window will be no easy assignment for Clement as he looks to make a few adjustments to his already bulky squad. While wholesale changes are out of the question, Clement has stressed he will tinker with his squad in order to give them the best possible chance of beating arch rivals Celtic to the Scottish Premiership title.
The future of SEVEN first-team players must be decided before the end of the season, but for now it's about making progress in the Europa League, clinching some long overdue silverware at Hampden on December 17th and trying to make inroads on Celtic's lead at the top of the table.
With that in mind, GlasgowWorld assesses 15 players whose future remains uncertain:
9. Kemar Roofe - SELL
Contract: May 2024 - The fragile Jamaican striker just can't seem to steer clear from injury niggles. A top quality frontman on his day, but with his contract expiring at the end of the season, Clement faces a big decision over whether to retain his services. Failure to keep himself fit over the coming months is likely to have a major baring on that call. | Getty Images
10. John Lundstram - KEEP
Contract: May 2024 - The Scouser has gone from complete no-hoper to one of the first names on the team sheet - who would've thought it? All credit must go to the central midfielder who has been a real driving force this season and seems to be playing with a lot more confidence. | SNS Group
11. Jon McLaughlin - SELL
Contract: May 2024 - Finds himself behind Butland and McCrorie in the glove battle and he's too good a goalkeeper not to be playing. The former Hearts and Sunderland stopper should be on the lookout for a new club because it's clear his chances at Ibrox seem to have faded. | SNS Group
12. Alex Lowry - KEEP
Contract: May 2024 - It's hard to imagine the youngster being recalled from his loan spell at Hearts in January given Rangers have plenty of options in that area of the pitch. By all reports, the attacker has impressed at Tynecastle and it will be up to him to prove he can break into the Gers squad next season. Photo: Craig Foy - SNS Group
