Ibrox side fire Russell Martin following 17 games.
Russell Martin has been sacked as Rangers head coach after 17 games, the club announced "even though rebuilding takes time, outcomes didn't reach required standards".
His last match in charge was the 1-1 draw at Falkirk on Sunday, subsequently necessitating a police escort to leave the stadium after fans tried to prevent the squad vehicle from departing.
The coach encountered growing disapproval and opposition from Ibrox supporters amid a poor start to the season to the campaign.
It took Rangers until late September to secure their first league win, and the side endured an embarrassing 9-1 total setback versus Belgian side Club Brugge in the Champions League play-offs in August.
The club's statement emphasized that rebuilding processes demand time, but ultimately results need to satisfy requirements.
Key Points
- The coach's appointment concluded after 17 fixtures
- Concluding game ended 1-1
- Needed security following match
- Disappointing campaign opening
- Initial Premiership win in September
- Significant continental loss versus Club Brugge
What's Next
The hunt commences for a fresh manager to lead Rangers forward as the club aims to rebuild their term while reestablishing successful performances.
