Rangers manager Russell Martin: "It's not going to be a season-defining game. It's not. It's a really, really big game.
"The season is a long season. We'll be defined by what we do between now and May.
"I've been so pleased over four weeks, but it's not a long time. Tomorrow is going to be a real big test for us to see how far along we are and see how much work we have to do.
"That's the most interesting and exciting bit for us as a coaching staff, is that tomorrow we will learn a lot about the group and learn a lot about what we need to prioritise moving forward over the next few weeks.
"One of the things that has to come out of it is that the supporters leave feeling positively about their team, their new look, the way it is going to start to shape up.
"Hopefully, the fans will leave feeling excited about what is to come and start feeling a real connection because I think, if we can be connected, the whole club, Ibrox here, the supporters. If this club has that, with that energy, I think it is going to take some stopping." Betting odds
Rangers win: 7/10
