Former Rangers midfielder Andy Halliday on BBC SportsoundRangers are a work in progress and will definitely improve on what they've shown over the two legs.There are a lot of things for them to work on and new faces will help as well.Ex-Rangers striker Kris Boyd on Sky SportsSome exciting players have arrived at Rangers - but Russell Martin is not silly, he will know that there is a lot of work to be done.It's another tie out of the way, but they will have to tighten up defensively. Yes, Panathinaikos harassed Rangers and forced them into mistakes - but they were asking question after question of Rangers.Former Rangers goalkeeper Cammy Bell on BBC SportsoundThat's the big thing with Russell Martin - he thrives on the training ground.The longer he has with his players, the better they will get. This Rangers team showed a bit of character today. It's all positive at the moment, they just need to keep this momentum going.Ex-Rangers striker Peter Lovenkrands on BBC SportsoundIf you keep playing that way with those type of players you are going to get caught out. They have not been good enough over the last two legs. Rangers don't really have time. The style of play right now seems like it's not really working. That needs to be tidied up before the next round."Former Rangers midfielder Derek Ferguson on BBC SportsoundYes, they were lucky at times, but I liked the mentality of the players. Can it be better? Of course it can.I was a little worried before the game and we really saw the seasons why, because Rangers were cut open so many times. They need a few more in the building if they are going to progress further.

Argyle suffer Hazard and Pleguezuelo injury blows

Plymouth Argyle will be without goalkeeper Conor Hazard and central defender Julio Pleguezeulo for the opening weeks of the experienced pair are both suffering from knee injuries, with Spanish defender Pleguezuelo facing surgery. Argyle had hoped Northern Ireland goalkeeper Hazard, 27, would be fit for the start of the season."The initial diagnosis was 12 weeks, we thought we could shave some of that off with the second opinion we got," head coach Tom Cleverley told BBC Radio Devon about his goalkeeper."But it's looking more like it'll be that original duration of 12 weeks, so we'll be patient for Conor."Argyle have signed Luca Ashby-Hammond on a one-year deal as back-up and the former Notts County player will start against Barnsley on Saturday. "Luca we've been really pleased with. The freak goal in Austria, that has not affected him one bit that we've seen," added Cleverley."He's a very good goalkeeper for this level and we're all more than comfortable with him in the sticks." Meanwhile Argyle could look to dip into the loan market to cover Pleguezuelo's comes with new signing Jack MacKenzie struggling with tendonitis in his knee."We think Pleggy will have to have a procedure to see what's going on with his knee," added Cleverley."That leaves us light in defensive positions, so that's also an area of the pitch that we're looking to strengthen."That procedure may be a surgical one."Pleguezuelo felt the issue in the days after Argyle's final pre-season game last Saturday, when he came on as a substitute. "It's not normal because he only played 20 minutes. He did more training through the week than he did on Saturday."Saturday's caused a flare-up when it's more intensity and things like that, so it's something we need to get to the bottom of and unfortunately that might have to mean the surgeon having a look."
