On Tuesday evening, Russell Martin’s team secured their place in the Champions League play-offs with a 4-2 aggregate win against Viktoria Plzen in the third qualifying round.
New head coach Martin has not yet achieved a domestic victory, following back-to-back 1-1 draws with Motherwell and Dundee. While the advancement in Europe is appreciated, he understands that it is essential to sustain steady positive outcomes across the board.
