Rangers were once again left frustrated after being held to a 1-1 draw by a spirited Falkirk side at the Falkirk Stadium — a result that intensifies scrutiny on manager Russell Martin.
Falkirk started brightly, showing no fear as they pressed high and dominated early exchanges. The hosts fired 17 crosses into the Rangers box within the opening 20 minutes, exposing the visitors’ lack of structure and urgency. In contrast, Rangers failed to register a single cross in that period, a statistic that summed up their passive approach.
Although Rangers managed to pull level after going behind, their overall display was far from convincing. The team looked flat, short of ideas, and lacking the intensity expected from a club of their stature. Falkirk’s energy and belief made them the better side for large spells, and the home crowd sensed an upset.
For Russell Martin, this result only adds to the growing pressure surrounding his tenure. Fans are increasingly questioning his tactics, substitutions, and whether the squad truly believes in his plan. A performance like this leaves Rangers fans demanding answers — and fearing the club is losing its identity on the pitch.
