Rangers starting XI to face Alloa revealed as Russell Martin rings the changes

Russell Martin has named his Rangers team to face Alloa Athletic in the last 16 of the Premier Sports Cup this evening. 

The Ibrox club are back in domestic action after securing their place in the Champions League play-offs with a 4-2 aggregate victory over Viktoria Plzen in the third qualifying round. 

Goals from Djeidi Gassama and Oliver Antman helped Martin's men win 3-0 at home in the first leg before Lyall Cameron's strike in a 2-1 return leg defeat in the Czech Republic provided some much-needed breathing space.
