Derek McInnes is confident World Cup midfielders Cammy Devlin and Thelo Aasgaard will be fit for Rangers' first game of the Scottish Premiership season after they came off in their final pre-season friendly - a goalless draw with West Ham United at Ibrox.
Norway's Aasgaard had to be replaced after sustaining a shoulder injury, while Australian Devlin did not appear for the second half.
"Thelo landed on his shoulder a bit awkwardly, but we think he'll be okay for Friday and Cammy took a kick in his calf and again will be fine for the weekend.
"So the fact that we've come through the game without any injuries is pleasing."
Rangers start their season away to Dundee United in the Scottish Premiership.
And McInnes was disappointed that his side were not able to give the 48,000 fans a goal or a victory in preparation but thinks "it was a step on" from the midweek draw with St Etienne.
"In terms of the team we were up against, there was a demand for concentration needed for the game and I thought, on that side of it, getting the clean sheet and not too many scares in the game I thought we were quite alright," he added.
"It is just disappointing we didn't make more of some good positions, either our final cross or turning down chances to shoot, and try to put them under a big more pressure."
