Russell Martin faces his first competitive assignment as Rangers boss as his side prepare to take on Panathinaikos in a Champions League qualifier. <\/p>\n
The Gers welcome the Greek giants to Ibrox on Tuesday (22 July) night for the first leg of what is shaping up to be a mouthwatering clash. <\/p>\n
Martin has had a limited amount of time to assess the Rangers squad<\/a> since taking over the reins earlier in the summer, but he has already been busy in the transfer market, with seven new faces coming through the door ahead of their crucial qualifying tie. <\/p>\n With the Govan outfit\u2019s European campaign set to get underway in just a few hours\u2019 time, Ibrox News provides a last-minute preview of what will be a vital night. <\/p>\n Rangers would have had brief concerns<\/a> about the tie potentially getting postponed, after the Met Office issued a two-day weather warning across England and Scotland across Sunday (20 July) and Monday (21 July).<\/p>\n<\/p>\n Martin<\/a> and Co. will undoubtedly have been desperate for the game to go ahead, and there is now seemingly no concern surrounding the ability to get the game on. <\/p>\n The Met Office<\/a> are now suggesting that it will be a rain-free evening at Ibrox, with conditions set fair for the crucial clash. <\/p>\n A postponement never truly seemed a genuine possibility, but the Gers will be glad to now see that any possibility of the game not going ahead has faded away. <\/p>\n Martin\u2019s first competitive game in charge of Rangers<\/a> has the potential to be a season-defining 90 minutes for the new boss and his team, and UK fans will be able to watch every second on Premier Sports. <\/p>\n TNT Sports and Sky Sports subcribers can add the channels to their existing package, while Premier Sports<\/a> is available to purchase for anybody through Amazon Prime for \u00a315.99 per month.<\/p>\n Their coverage of the Panathinaikos clash will begin at 7:15pm, and it is also available to watch on Rangers TV, where fans can pay \u00a39.99 to stream the game live. <\/p>\n Rangers have been facing interest in several of their key players<\/a> in recent weeks, but they have managed to reach the first leg of the tie without a high-profile figure heading for the exit. <\/p>\n Martin is expected to hand out several competitive debuts when he names the starting XI to take on Panathinaikos, but the game could come too soon for one new arrival. <\/p>\n![\"Rangers-linked](\"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/1751050692_475_russell-martin-1024x576.png\")
