The decision came just hours after the 1-1 draw with Falkirk, a result that left the club’s board with no choice but to act amid mounting pressure from fans.
Martin, who took charge earlier this year, struggled to implement his vision at Ibrox, with inconsistent performances and tactical confusion becoming major talking points. Sources close to the club confirmed that the Rangers hierarchy held emergency talks late Sunday night before making the decisive call.
In a swift move, Rangers have appointed assistant coach Alex Rae as interim manager while the search for a permanent replacement begins immediately. Rae is expected to take charge of training this week and oversee upcoming fixtures as the club explores candidates both domestically and abroad.
The Rangers board released a brief statement thanking Martin for his service and wishing him well in future endeavors. Meanwhile, fans are already speculating about potential successors, with names like Sean Dyche and Steven Gerrard reportedly under consideration to steady the ship at Ibrox.
