Russell Martin has named his Rangers team to face Celtic this afternoon. 

The Ibrox side are looking to bounce back after Club Brugge knocked them out of the Champions League midweek. 

Martin's men were beaten 9-1 on aggregate by the Belgian outfit and will now compete in the Europa League this season. 

All eyes today are on the domestic front, although the new head coach has yet to even win a match in the Scottish Premiership since taking charge.

Rangers have played three league games so far this season, drawing 1-1 with Motherwell, Dundee and St Mirren. 

Martin's sole domestic win thus far came against Alloa Athletic in the last 16 of the Premier Sports Cup. 

Victory this afternoon would be welcomed as Martin seeks to relieve the growing pressure on his shoulders. 

Jack Butland starts in goal, as Nasser Djiga partners John Souttar at the heart of defence. 

Further up the pitch, new signing Bojan Miovski STARTS as he is handed a baptism of fire. 

Confirmed Rangers team to play Celtic: Butland, Tavernier, Djiga, Souttar, Meghoma, Barron, Diomande, Aasgaard, Moore, Gassama, Miovski. 

Subs: Kelly, Aarons, Rothwell, Dessers, Bajrami, Antman, Fernandez, Curtis, Danilo.
