Rangers will have a number of players out on international duty, including Nicolas Raskin and Mikey Moore.

There will also be a huge amount of travel over the next week to ten days for most of the first-team players as they represent their countries at various age groups.

Danny Rohl will be hoping that none of his players pick up an injury as he wants a fully fit squad for the Scottish Premiership title challenge.

Full breakdown of Rangers players’ travel schedules

Rangers made an official announcement about Nicolas Raskin being called up to the Belgium squad on 20 March.

The 25-year-old will travel the furthest as the Red Devils will be playing their football in North America, taking on the United States and Mexico.

This means that he will travel a total of 12,840 kms (7,978 miles) to-and-fro, including his return to Glasgow.

Despite not being called up to the senior Portugal squad, Youssef Chermiti is fourth on the list of Rangers players with regard to the travel distances.

He will be travelling 4,260 kms (2,646 miles) to represent the Portugal Under-21s side.

Danny Rohl may need to make a few tweaks for the Dundee United game

Following the international break, Rangers resume their domestic football with a home game against Dundee United on 4 April.

Travel may take its toll on some of the players, especially Raskin, and he may not be ready to start the game.

Injuries could also occur, as there are several players out on international duty.

There could also be fatigue due to excessive game time, and it remains to be seen if Rohl gives instructions to certain coaches not to play them for too many minutes.
