Ibrox side dismiss Russell Martin just 17 games.

Rangers have terminated Russell Martin's contract as head coach following 17 matches, as the club declared "while all transition periods require some time, results have not met expectations".

The manager's concluding fixture was the 1-1 draw at Falkirk on Sunday, subsequently necessitating a police escort away from the grounds when supporters attempted to halt the team coach from leaving.

The coach encountered growing disapproval and resistance from the club's followers during a disappointing opening period to the term.

It took Rangers until late September to record their maiden league win, following the humiliating a devastating 9-1 combined loss versus Belgian side Club Brugge in European playoff matches during August.

The club's statement emphasized that rebuilding processes demand time, yet outcomes need to satisfy requirements.

Key Points

  • The coach's appointment concluded after 17 fixtures
  • Concluding game ended 1-1
  • Law enforcement intervention post-match
  • Underwhelming term beginning
  • Late September first league victory
  • Heavy European defeat to Club Brugge

What's Next

The process starts for a new head coach to lead Rangers onward as the football side aims to rebuild their campaign and regain winning ways.
