Russell Martin has admitted it's "not ideal" that the Rangers team was leaked ahead of the Champions League match against Viktoria Plzen.
A rumoured line-up had emerged ahead of the fixture, which proved to be accurate.
Martin, though, is relatively relaxed over the issue as he insisted whoever leaked the side did not do so maliciously.

The Ibrox boss has discussed the issue but insisted he won't allow himself to become stressed over the issue.
"I think there's enough stuff in this job to be concerned about and to focus on all the time.
"I'm not going to stress overly about the team being leaked. We've spoken about it here.

"It's not ideal, but I also believe that no one's done it to hurt us or harm us. If I ever felt that, it'd be a different thing.
"But it's modern football and I think when people are saying if they're in or out of the team, you just have to have awareness of who you're telling.
"But there's other stuff for me to get stressed about and I don't think that's one of them."
