Russell Martin has been warned to end the stream of excuses over Rangers’ poor form, with critics insisting the under-fire boss must let results do the talking.
The Ibrox manager has repeatedly pointed to injuries, missed chances and tight refereeing calls in the wake of damaging defeats, but patience among fans and pundits is wearing thin after another disappointing week in Europe. Thursday’s 2-1 defeat away to Sturm Graz in the Europa League only heightened the scrutiny, with Rangers again falling short of the required standard.
Former players and media voices have now called on Martin to take full responsibility for the team’s struggles rather than seeking explanations elsewhere. The message is clear: performances and results must improve, or the manager’s position will soon become untenable.
Rangers have managed just a handful of wins in their last run of matches, and the pressure is intensifying with domestic and European hopes already under threat. Supporters are demanding a response on the pitch, while the board are understood to be monitoring the situation closely.
Martin, who took charge amid high expectations, now faces a critical spell that could define his tenure at Ibrox. With the spotlight firmly on him, excuses will no longer be enough — only victories will buy him time.
