From Ross McCausland's back-to-back Northern Ireland benching to Vaclav Cerny's sizzling strike for Czechia, here is how every Rangers player recently fared on international duty...
Nedim Bajrami - Albania
The midfielder started for his nation at Wembley against England last Friday night.
There was to be no major upset in Thomas Tuchel's first game in charge of the Three Lions, however, as his team walked away comfortable 2-0 winners.
Bajrami played until the 63rd minute in the loss and was then an unused substitute as Albania beat Andorra 3-0 on Monday.
Vaclav Cerny - Czechia
Cerny enjoyed perhaps the most eventual international break of any Rangers player.
He played 80 minutes as his country beat the Faroe Islands 2-1 on Saturday before scoring one and assisting another versus Gibraltar on Tuesday evening.
Cerny was brought off with just over 10 to go in the victory in which he scored. Manager Ivan Hasek said post-match that he was 'sour' after such a happening but that he apologised to his teammates for his mood later in the evening.
His strike itself was venomous, as the winger cut inside from the right wing to fire the ball, from range, into the bottom corner.
Tom Lawrence and Rabbi Matondo - Wales
Matondo, on loan at Hannover 96 from Rangers, played just 10 minutes for Wales across matches against Kazakhstan and North Macedonia. He still managed to bag his first goal for his country, however, netting late on against the Kazakhs.
Lawrence, on the other hand, was benched for both clashes.
Mohamed Diomande - Ivory Coast
Diomande played his part in back-to-back Ivory Coast victories this window.
He came on as a late substitute in their triumph over Burundi before starting and playing 68 minutes in a 1-0 win versus Gambia a few days later.
John Souttar and Liam Kelly - Scotland
Central defender Souttar impressed as he played 90 minutes when Scotland beat Greece 1-0 away from home in the first leg of their UEFA Nations League A play-off last Thursday.
Things then didn't go to plan for the national team at Hampden a few days later, however, as Souttar again played the full game, this time with his country losing 3-0 and resultantly 3-1 on aggregate.
Kelly was an unused substitute for each leg.
Bailey Rice - Scotland under-21s
The teenager started for a new-look Scotland under-21s side against Iceland on Tuesday, although they lost out by a considerable six goals to one.
He was a substitute for their win over the Republic of Ireland a few days earlier.
Nicolas Raskin - Belgium
In the senior Belgian squad for the first time, Nicolas Raskin more than caught the eye.
The midfielder followed up his outstanding display at Parkhead a week and a half ago with another eye-catching performance in his country's 3-0 win over Ukraine on Sunday night.
Belgium lost the first leg 3-1. Raskin came on for the last 10 minutes in Murcia, although made a widescale impression in the return match, and was given a standing ovation when he was brought off in the closing stages, helping Rudi Garcia's side to a 4-3 aggregate triumph.
Ianis Hagi - Romania
The 26-year-old was introduced as a halftime substitute in Romania's 1-0 loss to Bosnia and Herzegovina last week.
Hagi then started, completed 90 minutes, and scored as his nation picked up a somewhat expected 5-1 win over San Marino on Monday night.
Ross McCausland - Northern Ireland
The young winger was an unused substitute in Northern Ireland's duo of friendlies with Switzerland and Sweden over the international break.
Rangers back in action this weekend
Rangers return to action on Saturday when they travel to face Dundee at Dens Park.
Barry Ferguson will be keen to follow up on the emphatic victory away at Celtic as his side look to build momentum ahead of their mammoth Europa League quarter-final with Athletic Club in just over a fortnight.
