Rangers fans spot YET ANOTHER Russell Martin shocker | OneFootball

Rangers fans have spotted a pattern with Russell Martin that exposes the very issue haunting the club today. Across his time at Swansea, Southampton, and now Rangers, the manager’s excuses never change. The recurring theme is mentality. For many supporters, this latest revelation shows that Rangers face a leadership issue rather than a mentality one. The same words, the same reasoning, the same failures, as shown by Ibrox Noise.

The same excuse, every time

When Martin lost 5–0 with Southampton, he told the media the team could not handle setbacks. He said it had been the story of their season. Later, while at Swansea, he claimed the mentality dropped after scoring. He blamed the players for relaxing too soon. Now, at Rangers, he insists it is not technical but mental. The repetition is impossible to ignore. He used the same line at every club. Rangers fans quickly joined the dots, with Ibrox Noise highlighting how his analysis never evolves and his response to pressure stays identical.

Fans calling it out

Eagle-eyed supporters unearthed those older quotes. They realised Martin’s current comments at Ibrox were copy and paste from his past. The screenshots went viral online. Supporters compared the words, the tone, and the outcome. Every time, his team underperformed, and he blamed the mentality. That is why many now believe Rangers need stronger direction, not another psychology session. It is no coincidence that the same message follows him everywhere. The excuses do too. The phrase “mentality problem” has become his trademark defence, and fans are tired of hearing it. Even Ibrox Noise warned this pattern was inevitable.

A troubling pattern

This is not the first time Martin’s stubborn approach has come under fire. His constant reference to mentality over tactics has frustrated fans and pundits alike. Rangers fans deserve honesty, not recycled excuses. Thelwell and Stewart must see this for what it is: a pattern that will not change. The club’s struggles will continue until accountability replaces deflection, as reported by The Scotsman.

Even respected outlets like TalkSport and GiveMeSport have covered the fallout. Yet the core issue remains the same. Martin’s words at Rangers mirror his past failures elsewhere. The fans have seen it before, and they know how it ends.

The message from the stands is clear. Rangers cannot afford to let history repeat itself again.
