RUSSELL MARTIN is confident Rangers can continue their fine run of form when they face St Johnstone on Tuesday night.

Graeme Murty’s side saw off Hearts at the weekend as Jamie Murphy and Martin scored in either half to clinch a comfortable Ibrox victory.

Rangers have won seven of their last eight outings in all competitions, with the only slip-up coming as they lost to Hibernian on home soil earlier this month.

And defender Martin is pleased with the positive steps that the Light Blues are taking at present as they look to finish with a flourish this season.

He told RangersTV: “I think it’s just continuous progress and improvement – that’s what we’re looking for. Now we have to go and back up [Saturday] away from home against St Johnstone.

“Otherwise, it would take the gloss off the Hearts result a little bit so we have to back it up.

“We have been good away from home recently and if we play anywhere near what we played against Hearts, and we have to keep that level of performance up, then we’ll go there confident of winning the game.”
