Cyriel Dessers<\/a> almost required a stretcher before being helped off the pitch after a fall, with a potential knee injury.\n<\/p>\n\n Martin admitted it could be serious, pending a scan.\n<\/p>\n
\n He said: “Yeah, it looks a nasty one, so he’s in a brace now.\n<\/p>\n
\n “We’ll have to just wait and see over the next couple of days, have a scan and see.\n<\/p>\n
\n “We’ll keep our fingers crossed it’s not too bad for a big man.”\n<\/p>\n
\n Looking ahead to their forthcoming match against Club Brugge, Martin acknowledged the need for significant improvement in his team.\n<\/p>\n
\n He said: “If we don’t show a bit more care and quality on the ball, I think we will struggle against anyone.”\n<\/p>\n
\n He also spoke about the challenge posed by the Belgian side.\n<\/p>\n
\n He said: “Good team, tough game, but I believe that especially at Ibrox – and I think we’ll play at home first – that can be really powerful for us.\n<\/p>\n
\n “We have to really embrace the challenge, so I’m excited about it.\n<\/p>\n
\n “You expect the level of competition to be good now we’re through to this stage, but we’ll be in it, and we will do our very best to win and put in a performance that we’re really happy with to set up the second leg.”\n<\/p>\n
\n Martin’s comments suggest a desire for his team to rise to the occasion and demonstrate better care and quality in their play.\n<\/p>\n
