Rangers Football Club have confirmed the dismissal of head coach Russell Martin after just 17 games in charge, following Sunday’s disappointing 1-1 draw with Falkirk. The result proved to be the final straw for the club’s hierarchy, who have grown increasingly frustrated with inconsistent performances and a lack of progress on the pitch.
Martin, who took over earlier this year with high expectations, struggled to impose his possession-based style at Ibrox, with fans voicing their discontent in recent weeks. The draw against Falkirk – a side newly promoted to the Premiership – left Rangers trailing further behind in the title race and intensified pressure on the manager.
In a brief statement, Rangers thanked Martin for his efforts but stated that “a change was necessary to refocus the team’s direction.” An interim manager is expected to be named within the next 24 hours as the club looks to stabilize results ahead of a busy October fixture list.
Martin’s tenure ends with 8 wins, 5 draws, and 4 defeats in all competitions.
