Connor Goldson meanwhile is expected after the World Cup break, which starts next month.
Rangers ' manager said: "Ridvan had a knock on his knee and we will assess him for tomorrow, our only fresh doubt. A short-term one if misses out. Ianis (Hagi) is in the final stretch, I am really happy for him as is one of our most creative players. Tom (Lawrence) had a fantastic start to the season and we will miss him until his return.
"I'm hopeful after the World Cup break we will see Connor (Goldson) return. Lundstram is okay, we have done scans and he is fit. Ridvan had a knock on his knee and we will assess him for tomorrow, our only fresh doubt. A short-term one if misses out.
"Glen (Kamara) had a problem with his ankle, we are hopeful he will return for the match against Napoli."
There's been heated criticism in the wake of another poor performance from his side and Van Bronckhorst says entertainment is on the agenda against David Martindale's men.
He said: "You know as a manager or player of Rangers, you always have to win in a convincing way. That is the standard we all have to achieve.
"We need to improve from Wednesday, particularly the last 30 minutes. We are on a good winning run in the league and we want to continue. We need to entertain also and we will look to improve, we want the fans to leave the stadium after a convincing win.
"The intensity needs to be there not only for part of the game. 90 minutes we have to be there with our intensity and our structure.
