Russell Martin stated his first competitive match in charge of Rangers against Panathinaikos would not define their season. Despite the significance of the Champions League qualifier, he emphasized that the season would be shaped by performances from now until May. Rangers last reached the Champions League in 2022-23 but did not win any games. Martin expressed excitement for the upcoming match at Ibrox and acknowledged that the current squad would undergo changes in the coming weeks, emphasizing the need for a strong performance.
"It's not going to be a season-defining game, it's not. So it's a really, really big game. A season is a long season. It will be defined by what we do between now and May."
"You can build it up to be that, it's a big game. Every game for Rangers is a big game, every game is a must-win. But it's not season-defining, the squad will look very different in four or five weeks."
