The Glasgow Rangers and Russell Martin made the move to sign “clean” £2 million players to have nothing, according to SkySports.
Martin was delighted with the Rangers after a 3-0 victory. ViktoriaPlzen
GERS took another step in the right direction towards qualifying for the Champions League on Tuesday evening, beating Viktoria Plzen 3-0 on the first leg of their third qualifying round tie.
After a 1-1 Scottish premiership draw with Motherwell, Martin, who remained smoked with Rangers, squealed the change, leaving out Captain James Tavernier and star midfielder Nicholas Ruskin.
But one goal for the summer, Djeidi Gassama and Cyriel Dessers, is put in a strong position to move GERS into the next round. Speaking after Ibrox’s victory, Martin said via PA:
“I really enjoyed it. I’m proud of the guys. We had a really difficult night on Saturday, because the offensiveness, the strength of the ball wasn’t running well enough. We weren’t just ranting and raving about it, we were trying to show a lot of clips and do a lot of learning in the tournament room and the final few days.
“The people who came to the team were amazing. We’re going to need everyone. You’re not going to be dropped from this team, people get in and out quite a bit because we need to be fresh.”

So far, 10 new additions have been made by Martin and 49ers Enterprises, more potentially before the September 1 deadline.
However, one player the Rangers missed was Connor Cody. Connor Cody traded Leicester City for Leicester City for a £2 million transfer.
Rangers moved to sign Cody for £0 – Sky Sports
According to Sky Sports Reporter Rob Dorsett, the Rangers tried to sign Cody on a free transfer from Leicester.
Instead, Leicester was able to secure fees for “Immaculate” England International, which had a two-year contract in Wales.
“Lester sells no one to cheap people. Look at the £2 million that left 32-year-old Connor Cody from Welksam, who only had one year left on his contract. Cody thought he would be allowed to save Leicester by saving wages that could not save Leicester.
Emmanuel Fernandez and Nasser Ziga have been added centre-backs so far, comparable to John Sutal, Clinton Nusiara, Leon King and Ben Davis, but the latter links to the city of Birmingham, so another defensive arrival should not be ruled out.
