Ibrox side Glasgow Rangers face Hearts in a Scottish Premiership clash today.
Rangers boss Grame Murty has told The Scotman that he has been using Russell Martin to get information on his former Norwich City team-mates Kyle Lafferty and Steven Naismith.
Martin joined Rangers on a half-season loan from the Canaries in January.
Today, he comes up against Lafferty and Naismith when the duo travel to Ibrox with their new club Hearts.
The on-loan Rangers defender played with Lafferty for two seasons at Carrow Road, and with Naismith for around 18 months, so he should be well placed to give Murty the inside scoop on the two former Gers.
“I’m tapping into Russell Martin about Kyle Lafferty and Steven about what they do and what their mindset is going to be like,” he told The Scotsman.
Murty’s side reduced the deficit from Celtic to nine points last weekend and another win today would make things interesting.
With Celtic not playing until tomorrow, victory would cut the gap to six points ahead of the Hoops’ trip to Aberdeen tomorrow.
Winning the Premiership is still a massive ask, but it’ll be a lot more realistic if Rangers win and Celtic lose.
