Board and owners doubly BACK Martin in latest painful Rangers update | OneFootball

Russell Martin has confirmed his job is safe and we go again this weekend. The Rangers manager made that clear after the Genk defeat when speculation mounted that his time could be over. If Rangers fans hoped he was losing his job yesterday they are set to be very disappointed. The key message from Martin is that he remains in position and he intends to fight on. That reality is crushing for many fans who demanded change. Rangers under Martin have struggled badly yet the board stand firm.

Martin makes his position clear

Martin insisted he met Andrew Cavenagh after the Genk match but described the talks as routine. He claimed nothing was unusual in the conversation and that his future is not under question. He stated Rangers simply need to respond this weekend with a better result. That will not comfort many who feel the club is stuck. Supporters want progress yet they keep hearing the same empty soundbites.

Fans left angry again

The reaction from Rangers fans has been predictable. Social media is flooded with anger that Martin remains safe. Thousands of supporters had hoped the Genk result would force the board into action. Instead they have been told it is business as usual. The gulf between fans and the hierarchy has never looked wider. Many see the American owners as detached and uncaring. They do not understand the Rangers standard or the need to win at all costs.

Board doubles down

The Rangers board continues to back Martin despite the collapse in results. They know the season already looks grim but they refuse to admit defeat. By insisting Martin stays, they risk alienating the supporters even further. Every week that goes by the Ibrox crowd grows more restless. The boos ring louder and the players look drained. The situation cannot last without deep consequences. Rangers as a club depend on unity yet that bond is gone.

The official board of directors has doubled down and refused to bow to fan pressure. Even the AGM coverage showed shareholders raising eyebrows over the lack of football vision. The divide grows with every passing week and results only increase that gap. An open letter from the new board promised passion and ambition, yet reality shows the opposite.

The message is simple. Martin is going nowhere for now and the fans must endure more of the same. He has confirmed his job is safe and we go again this weekend. That is the grim truth and supporters must face it. The next match now carries massive weight because patience is gone. A win may ease tension slightly but anything else will spark further fury. Rangers find themselves trapped in a cycle and the way out looks bleak. Russell Martin has confirmed his job is safe.
