Aberdeen have no fresh injuries for their Scottish Premier League clash with Hibernian at Pittodrie.
Gary Naysmith and Ryan Jack are still out but both are scheduled to resume training with the ball next week.
Andrew Considine (broken leg) and Chris Clark (broken ankle) are out for the rest of the season.
The 21-year-old was held by Northumbria Police following an allegation made by a woman that she was attacked at a hotel in Jesmond, Newcastle between Wednesday and Thursday.
London-born Ranger, who lives in Forest Hall, North Tyneside, was still being questioned on Friday.
A police spokeswoman said: "On Thursday January 24 a woman reported to police that she had been raped overnight at a hotel in Jesmond.
"A 21-year-old man has been arrested at an address in Forest Hall on suspicion of rape."
Ranger angered fans by criticising them for booing after Newcastle lost to Reading at the weekend.
He went on to enrage them by apparently spelling his name out in £20 notes and posting a photo online.
A Newcastle United spokeswoman declined to comment.
Ranger, an England Under-19 international, has had a troubled time at Newcastle, and has been loaned to Sheffield Wednesday and Barnsley.
Back on the fringes of the first team at Newcastle, he tweeted on Saturday after the side's Premier League defeat: "Certain fans need to not come and support this team... Coming out to BOOO us.. Stay at home.. Don't need ur BOO's.... SAY NO MORE !!!"
He followed it up with: "Last thing from me... To all the fans. U are not forced to buy season tickets.. Or pay our wages.. Please remember that..."
The response from the Magpies fans was fierce, with supporters demanding he never wear the black and white shirt again.
The day after, he tweeted: "God gives the hardest battles to the strongest soldiers !!"
Shrewsbury manager Graham Turner will have to reshuffle his defence.
Centre-back Jermaine Grandison was this week ruled out for at least six weeks with a hip injury.
Grandison has been managing the complaint over the last couple of weeks but was eventually forced off at half-time in last Saturday's 2-0 defeat at Swindon.
That means Yado Mambo is likely to come in although fellow defender Cameron Gayle also stands a chance of starting against the Shakers.
Otherwise, long-term absentees Mark Wright (knee) and Ryan Doble (hand) are expected to be the only ones to miss out.
Shrews, in 18th place in the league, currently find themselves four places and eight points clear of third-bottom Bury.
Bury manager Kevin Blackwell has a raft of new options following a busy week in the loan market.
Forward Nicky Ajose and defender Ashley Eastham have returned to Gigg Lane from Peterborough and Blackpool respectively for their second temporary spells with the league strugglers.
Eastham could be joined in the Shakers' back four by Stephane Zubar, who agreed a move from Bournemouth until the end of the season on Thursday.
Bolton winger Gregg Wylde and QPR striker Troy Hewitt are back with their parent clubs following the end of their own loan spells.
Mark Carrington (groin) and Andy Bishop (foot) are fit to play but Bishop's fellow striker David Healy (groin) is out.
Defenders Phil Picken (knee) and Adam Lockwood (groin) are out for the season along with midfielder Shane Byrne (blood disorder).
