Rangers are having a difficult star to the season but can hugely improve it in the Champions League play-off round when they take on Club Brugge. New manager Russell Martin has started Rangers’ Scottish Premiership campaign with back-to-back draws against Motherwell and Dundee.

Rangers head coach Russell Martin has been speaking to the media ahead of his side's Champions League qualifier against Club Brugge. Here are the main points:
