Rangers open their Scottish Premiership campaign with a short trip to Motherwell this weekend as both sides begin a new era under their respective new managers on Saturday evening at Fir Park (kick-off: 5.45pm).
In the away dug out, Russell Martin will be buoyed by his side’s 3-1 aggregate victory over Panathinaikos in the Champions League qualifiers, but will have full focus on ensuring his new look Ibrox squad begins their domestic campaign with a bang at they aim to overthrow Celtic as the club’s dominant force this season.
Meanwhile, new Motherwell head coach Jens Berthel Askou will be hoping to take the club’s strong Premier Sports Cup form into the league, with the Danish boss side hoping his team can pick up an opening day result on home soil against tough opposition.
Both sides have injuries worries ahead of the clash, however, with up to 10 players potentially missing the game on Saturday afternoon.
