Russell Martin has thanked the Rangers fans who called for him to be sacked at a mass protest outside Ibrox before the Premier Sports Cup quarter-final against Hibernian for their backing during a vital 2-0 win.Around 1,500 of the Glasgow club’s followers gathered on Edmiston Drive before the last eight tie to voice their displeasure about Martin’s performance as manager and Patrick Stewart’s track record as chief executive.
Martin, whose team dropped to 11th place in the William Hill Premiership before kick-off when Dundee beat Livingston at Dens Park, admitted that he could hear the demonstration in the home dressing room.But the former Scotland internationalist oversaw a 2-0 triumph thanks to first half Nicolas Raskin and Bojan Miovski goals and was pleased when his team was cheered off the park following the final whistle.
