Ibrox side sack Russell Martin after 17 matches.
Rangers have terminated Russell Martin's contract as head coach following 17 matches, as the club declared "although transition phases demand patience, outcomes didn't reach required standards".
The 39-year-old's final game ended with a 1-1 stalemate against Falkirk on Sunday, subsequently necessitating a police escort from the venue as spectators sought to block the team bus from exiting.
Increasing scrutiny had been directed at Martin from Rangers fans amid a poor start to the season to the season's commencement.
It took Rangers until late September to record their maiden league win, and the side endured an embarrassing 9-1 total setback from Club Brugge in the Champions League play-offs in August.
Officials highlighted that rebuilding processes demand time, but ultimately results need to satisfy requirements.
Key Points
- Martin's leadership spanned 17 games
- Final match resulted in 1-1 draw
- Law enforcement intervention post-match
- Disappointing campaign opening
- Late September first league victory
- Substantial European setback against Belgian opponents
What's Next
The hunt commences for a replacement coach to lead Rangers ahead while the organization works to rejuvenate their term and restore winning ways.
