Rangers head coach Russell Martin has provided a major update on the availability of key pair Thelo Aasgaard and Hamza Igamane

The duo missed training in Glasgow this morning and will not feature against Panathinaikos tomorrow evening, Martin has confirmed at a press conference in Athens tonight. 

He said: "Hamza and Thelo [are] the only ones who didn't make it, everyone else is fit and ready to go.

"It's a tough game against a good opponent that we have to be ready for.

"We had an extremely hot week at St George's [Park] with the guys covering a lot of distance, so that will help us.

"We have to manage the game, and I think the players are ready for that.

"At this football club, the mentality is to win every game.

"The atmosphere was incredible last week, we know our support travel in amazing numbers everywhere and we want to give them a night to remember.

"I hope we can have another positive night tomorrow.

"Thelo didn't quite make it, to risk him early on at this stage of the season would be crazy so we will make sure he is right."

Rangers hold a 2-0 aggregate lead from the first leg in Glasgow last week.
