Are Rangers able to problem for trophies beneath head coach Russell Martin?

Winger Mikey Moore arrived on loan from Tottenham Hotspur on Friday, bolstering an area of Martin’s squad that needed addressing.

Kieran Dowell started both legs out wide against Panathinaikos, having struggled to make a meaningful impact since signing from Norwich City in 2023.

Moore, 17, impressed for Tottenham in Europe last season and was encouraged to move to Glasgow by former Spurs and Rangers striker Jermain Defoe.

Martin has no doubts that Moore can make a positive impact despite his tender age.

“I think it’s a brilliant signing,” the former Scotland defender said. “It will be good for us, good for Spurs and good for Mikey.

“He will definitely add to us as a big option in the forward line. He’s a super talent and we’re excited to have him.

“If you’re good enough, you’re old enough and I certainly think he’s good enough to help us win games.

“I said that we need people to be desperate to come here and play football and he was that.”

Defenders Nasser Djiga and Max Aarons and midfielder Joe Rothwell have gone straight into Martin’s starting team, while winger Djeidi Gassama has scored as a substitute in both European matches.

Attacking midfielder Thelo Aasgaard is expected to play a prominent role after signing from Luton Town, with centre-back Emmanuel Fernandez and midfielder Lyall Cameron also arriving, from Peterborough and Dundee respectively.

However, Martin still expects further movement in the transfer market.

“I think we still need more players, for sure,” he said. “We need to strengthen a couple of really key areas.

“Mikey helps us a lot because he gives us something we don’t have. He gives us another option and real flexibility in the top line.

“I still think there will be players leaving and there will be players joining.

“We have to be really willing and open for that change because I think this club has needed it and now we have to be patient during it to make sure we get the right ones in.”
