Russell Martin has revealed Andrew Cavenagh was "really happy" as he revealed a post-match exchange with the Rangers chairman.
The Ibrox investor was in Glasgow for the Premier Sports Cup win over Hibernian and embraced Martin after the match.

On the win, Martin added: "It is the performance I have enjoyed the most since we have been here. We could have scored a couple more.
"There is loads to work on so that is what is exciting. We put in a good performance; it could be a lot better but some really brilliant football played and really outstanding individual performances. I am really proud of the players.
"They've stuck together this week and all of the staff as well. I am really proud of them and really grateful for what they have done for me today."
