Rangers make Russell Martin sack decision after 'embarrassment' https://share.google/BS6GoKSJ8lij8gxg4
Just reading a piece about RM on the BBC Football website - sounds very familiar : "If titles were decided on percentage of possession and number of passes then Rangers would be going toe-to-toe with Celtic right now, but it's tedious. The amount of ball they have and the lack of creativity they possess is stark."
When I first saw this thread title I thought it was about Martinez I have nothing against Martin but I’m glad he’s not a Swans manager
Rangers losing 6-0 on the night in Club Brugge after 70 mins: that’s 9-1 on aggregate RM out before September?
Per the Beeb: Angry Rangers fans tried to prevent the team bus leaving the Falkirk Stadium following the 1-1 draw on Sunday, with a large police presence required to allow players and staff to exit. Under-pressure head coach Russell Martin was escorted from the ground in a separate car by police in a bid to keep him away from supporters who have been calling for his removal for several weeks. A group, mainly clad in black, were led away from the ground at about 18:30 BST - more than 90 minutes after the match had finished. The draw was the latest in a series of disappointing results for Rangers, which have left them eighth in the Premiership, 11 points behind leaders Hearts, nine adrift of rivals Celtic, and four clear of bottom club Aberdeen. Martin, who was appointed on a three-year contract in June, has won only one of his first seven league matches and been the subject of fan protests and chants against him at recent games. It remains to be seen whether the board will keep faith with the former Southampton boss over the international break, with Rangers not in action again until 18 October when they host fourth-placed Dundee United.
Now on Sky Sports: Rangers are set to sack head coach Russell Martin following the 1-1 draw at Falkirk on Sunday. An official announcement from the club is expected to come on Monday morning. One win from seven in the Scottish Premiership and 11 points behind in the title race, pressure increased on Martin as Falkirk came from behind to gain a draw. A group of fans blocked the team bus outside the Falkirk Stadium and Martin was given a police escort to his car after being booed relentlessly during and after another disappointing game for the Ibrox side. Martin insisted Rangers are "improving" after the game as he fought to save his job but Sky Sports' Kris Boyd predicted things to "get worse" if he stayed at Ibrox.
