Rangers have acted swiftly following the dismissal of Russell Martin, confirming the appointment of an interim manager less than 24 hours after his departure. The Ibrox board moved quickly to stabilize the situation after Sunday’s disappointing 1-1 draw with Falkirk, which proved to be the final straw for Martin’s tenure.
The club released a late-night statement announcing the new interim boss, emphasizing the need for “immediate leadership and renewed focus” as Rangers look to rescue their season. The interim manager—reportedly a familiar face within Scottish football—will take charge of training this week and oversee preparations for the upcoming Premiership clash.
Sources close to the club suggest the board wanted someone who understands the club’s values and can restore belief in a squad that has looked disjointed in recent weeks. Fans, frustrated by a series of poor performances, have welcomed the decisive action, hoping this change sparks a turnaround before Rangers lose further ground in the title race.
With several high-profile names being considered for the permanent role, all eyes will now be on the interim manager to steady the ship and reignite Rangers’ ambitions.
