Union Bears issue Rangers rallying cry for Russell Martin's first league game

Rangers ultras group, the Union Bears, have issued a rallying cry ahead of Russell Martin's first league game at the helm this weekend. 

The 39-year-old recently guided his team into the third round of Champions League qualifying with a 3-1 aggregate victory over Greek giants Panathinaikos. 

A 1-1 draw in Athens on Wednesday night was enough for the Ibrox club to secure progression after a 2-0 win in Govan eight days prior.

[[Rangers]] now turn their attention to the domestic scene this weekend, where they face Motherwell in Scottish Premiership action. 

They head to Fir Park on Saturday night, with a 5.30pm kick-off in place. 

Ahead of the match, the Union Bears have urged supporters to all wear blue. 

Full-back Max Aarons is looking forward to getting his first taste of domestic action in Scotland after helping Rangers defeat Panathinaikos. 

He said: "Of course, it's going to be different in the league. 

"But like I said, that confidence and robustness that you build from playing game in, game out is what you want. You don't want to be waiting a week or 10 days for your next game.

"It’s important that we all recover as well as possible, so that come Saturday, we can start the league season with a big win. It's a big game and we have to take [care of] that now.

"This confidence coming here to Panathinaikos, that is not an easy game and we have to take that now into the league, where I believe we can beat anyone."
