Sources have revealed to Ibrox Noise that Andrew Cavenagh has assured Russell Martin his job is safe for the season. The news cuts deep. Many hoped pressure from recent results might finally push the board to act. Instead, fans are told no change will come, as Ibrox Noise has already warned. The revelation shows again how badly supporters are ignored. The fact remains, Russell Martin’s job is safe.
Cavenagh has mostly kept himself away from public view since the takeover. Yet his words behind closed doors now cause outrage. Supporters already had doubts about the American ownership. This update makes matters worse. The board’s stance distances them further from the fans. Many inside Ibrox fear another lost year, and calls for Martin’s exit continue to grow. Transition words cannot mask the truth. The message is clear. The manager stays.
Ibrox Noise understands successors are being sounded out. However, the reason is not performance. The club only considers candidates in case Martin resigns himself. That stance feels absurd. A Rangers manager should live or die on results. Martin does not. It is a betrayal of standards. Fans deserve clarity but get only more disappointment.
Every poll and every conversation among the support points the same way. They want change. Rangers cannot afford to drift further behind. Yet Cavenagh’s backing gives Martin a shield no results can pierce. The team looks lost, and the dressing room appears unconvinced. Transition after transition, the pattern repeats. Defeat, excuse, denial. The cycle hurts more every week, and even the club’s own statements ring hollow.
Instead of decisive leadership, fans see excuses dressed as policy. The American influence looks financial first, football second. They claim stability matters more than winning. Yet Rangers thrive only when standards are ruthless. Walter Smith never hid behind safety nets. Dick Advocaat never stayed regardless of failure. The comparison is brutal, and even Martin’s latest words lack conviction.
Supporters now question what the season even means. If results no longer matter, what drives the players? If Martin’s position does not depend on winning, then the message is toxic. That culture can never work at Ibrox. The fear grows that Martin’s shield extends beyond May. His job is safe today. Tomorrow could prove no different, even with Sky Sports highlighting the growing fan frustration.
Fans will keep protesting, yet the board ignores them. The situation creates anger across the Rangers family. Many believe this stance will haunt the club for years. Tradition demands better. Cavenagh and his allies seem blind to that truth.
The story is simple. Russell Martin’s job appears safe. But Rangers themselves are not.
