Russell Martin hampered by hold-up in supply chain as Rangers boss pins hopes on goalscoring translator
Martin's Rangers still a work in progress ahead of Champions League bow Sign up to our Football newsletter Sign up Thank you for signing up!

Sir Alex Ferguson, John Greig and Richard Gough, the legends have been queuing up to get into the Rangers Training Centre in recent days. No wonder Russell Martin complained that he was feeling the heat when he walked into the media room on the eve of his first competitive match in charge at Ibrox. But don't fret Rangers fans, he's not wilting under the pressure already. Not yet at least. The new manager, who will take a bow in front of the Rangers fans for the first time in a competitive game against Panathinaikos on Tuesday night, was simply referring to the muggy room.

When Rangers last played a Champions League qualifier, against Dynamo Kyiv last season, they were denied any home advantage due to the delay in getting steel to Glasgow amid renovation work on the Copland Road Stand. It's been getting another precious commodity to Ibrox in time for Tuesday night's game that's been the major problem for Martin. His ambitions might be hampered by hold-ups in the player supply chain. Although there have been several new faces, it's not the wholesale change supporters might feel is required and nor, some fear, are they of the sufficient quality. Meanwhile, one of the additions Martin has been able to get through the door, Thelo Aasgaard, a £5 million signing from Luton Town, is sidelined due to injury. 'He doubles up as translator!' Martin admitted both Hamza Igamane and Cyriel Dessers are short of the required fitness to start having had their pre-season work disrupted due to injury and visa complications amid speculation about moves elsewhere. Their futures might still lie away from Ibrox but they will both have key parts to play against Panathinaikos over the two legs, with Danilo in position to lead the line. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad Having not scored in his last 15 appearances, admittedly mostly from the bench, the burden of getting goals falling on the so far unconvincing Brazilian is not what might have been expected on the back of high-profile new owners and promises of squad investment. Martin, however, is happy to have him on board. 'He doubles up as translator, he speaks about five different languages!' he revealed. 'He's technically really good, he has scored a lot of nice goals in pre-season, links the game well. And what I love about him, he gives everything in every session.'

However, he remains confident that despite the team being a work in progress, those available now can put into practice his ethos. 'The squad will look very different in four or five weeks, I'm convinced of that,' he said. 'But the team we have now, the squad we have now, we have to put in a performance that looks like us, feels like us and one that we can build off and ultimately win the game.' Work on the pitch at Ibrox, which won the inaugural pitch of the year trophy last season, means Rangers have been restricted to just one preparatory match at home before the real action begins. While not quite as unsatisfactory as last season's Ibrox exile, when Rangers were forced to play their first four home games at Hampden, it's not been ideal. The one friendly match was against Club Brugge, when the new pitch was still bedding in. Rangers found themselves 2-0 down and the target of some mid-summer booing by half-time although recovered to claim a draw. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad 'We'd have loved another game or two at Ibrox but the pitch wasn't ready,' he said. 'It is now, it's in good shape. So, we didn't want to jeopardise that, the Bruges one was really early for that pitch. The ground staff did brilliantly and have done since.' The pitch will of course play a big part if Martin's quick, crisp passing style of play is to be realised. According to him, it can't be one dimensional. Knowing when to play the ball is crucial, particularly when there's 50,000 fans applying pressure. 'It needs to be patient, it needs to be quick,' he explained. 'There will be times where it won't require much patience and there will be times where it will. Head coach Russell Martin during a Rangers training session ahead of the Champions League second qualifying round first leg tie against Panathinaikos. (Photo by Alan Harvey / SNS Group) | SNS Group 'It's not all going to be plain sailing, there will be some bumpy moments,' he added, presumably in reference to the team rather than the pitch. 'But we have to make sure that everyone can understand and see what we are trying to achieve and that the team has enough moments that people can feel excited about. I think the second half against Bruges did that, the first half did the opposite! The second half, I think people started to see that.' Recognition for Tavernier Whatever happens against Panathinaikos, he is adamant that it won't define Rangers' season and that might well be true. For example, losing to Dinamo Kyiv last season 2-0 at Hampden wasn't in the top five worst Rangers results of the campaign it turned out, as damaging as it felt for Phillipe Clement at the time. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad Of course, Martin wasn't meaning there could be worse to come. Unlike his Belgian predecessor, he is still fresh and exciting and can count on a degree of leeway. Amid all the changes at Ibrox, off the field as well as on it, there will be a very familiar face leading Rangers out. Nearly a year ago Clement was being asked about James Tavernier, and whether he would even be playing in the opening league fixture against Hearts. The skipper had endured a torrid end to the previous season before being seemingly on the verge of a move elsewhere. With iconic skippers Greig and Gough having paid visits in recent days, the sheer durability of a modern-day legend must be recognised. Tavernier will never boast the credentials of these two predecessors. However, Martin is just the latest Rangers manager prepared to put his faith in someone he actually played alongside at Ibrox. He explained that the 33-year-old has risen to the considerable physical challenge of pre-season. 'It's not always been easy and comfortable for him over the last four or five weeks,' he said. 'We really challenged him to do some stuff that he's not used to doing. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad

Rangers legend previews Panathinaikos clash as he reveals he considered bringing Nicolas Raskin to England with him
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) STUART McCALL says a draw won't leave Rangers up the Greek — because their Euro away record is so good. The Ibrox legend is the last Scottish boss to face Panathinaikos in the Champions League, when his Motherwell side were battered 5-0 on aggregate back in 2012. Sign up for the Rangers newsletter Sign up 1 Stuart McCall is currently at Preston North End as assistant manager Credit: Kenny Ramsay But he insists Rangers' recent record away from home in Europe — where they have only lost two of their past nine road trips — can stand them in good stead in Russell Martin's opening fixtures. McCall, 61, now assistant boss at Preston, said: 'I've seen plenty of Rangers in recent seasons, and whether it was under Steven Gerrard, Gio van Bronckhorst or Philippe Clement, the best results and performances have been the away games in Europe. 'Even Barry Ferguson had that great win at Fenerbahce in March. 'So of course they would like to win against Panathinaikos and go to Greece ahead. 'But if it's level, that wouldn't be the worst result because they know they can go abroad and get results. 'It's not win at all costs. As long as they are still in the tie after Tuesday, they will have a chance. 'The support is so important, though. They have to stay with the team. In my own experience, like back in 1992 when we played Marseille and were 2-0 down at home in the Champions League, the support stuck by us and we ended up getting it back to 2-2.' McCall says Martin's philosophy can work at Ibrox — but he needs a buy-in from his players. He added: 'I like Russell, I worked with him when I was involved on the coaching side with Scotland. He thinks deeply about the game and he's shown that at Swansea and Southampton. 'He has a specific way he wants to play and that's fine as long as the players buy into it. 'Absolutely brilliant or RUBBISH' - Gassama Rangers transfer verdict and Souttar to leave 'It CAN be successful but it needs to have everyone on board. 'I like some of his signings. I've seen Joe Rothwell down here and he's a good player, but my only concern with him is, does it mean Nico Raskin's going? 'I hope not because he's one I've always liked — I looked at him with a view to bringing him to Sheffield United. 'If they have Raskin, Rothwell and Mohamed Diomande that's a good midfield, with Connor Barron as back-up. 'The lad Thelo Aasgaard I saw bits of at Wigan and Luton and he's also a good player. Same with Max Aarons, he should handle the Premiership fine. 'As is always the case, it's about whether they have the attitude to deal with Scotland and the scrutiny that comes if you lose a couple.' While McCall's Well side shipped five to the Greeks 13 years ago, he still looks back at what might have been. He said: 'It looks like a battering, but for most of the tie we'd held our own. 'We started well, could have been up, but lost a horrible free-kick goal, and another on the counter to make it 2-0. 'Over there it was 0-0 at half-time and I remember saying to the players, 'If we score, the whole tie changes'. 'But they scored soon after the restart and killed our hopes.'
