Who goes? Rangers fans offer damning verdict on Hamza and Martin stand off | OneFootball

Rangers fans have spoken clearly and it is not good news for either Russell Martin or Hamza Igamane. The Ibrox Noise poll yesterday laid bare the feeling among the support and it is not about choosing one side over the other. The result was emphatic and the message was that both should clear out of the club. Fans had grown tired of excuses and distractions and the incident in Paisley was the final straw. The situation divided opinion for a short time but when the dust settled the majority called for a clean sweep. Rangers fans want Hamza and Martin gone.

Supporters voted in large numbers and the trend was stark. They did not see value in backing Martin and they had no interest in protecting Igamane. Instead they wanted both men gone and for Rangers to move forward. The fallout of the St Mirren draw has left fans more frustrated than ever. Many remember previous crises but this one feels deeper and more toxic. When a manager calls out a player in public and the player refuses to play there is no future. The Rangers support made that clear and they will not forgive or forget.

The anger was not only about the refusal to play. Fans have pointed out that Martin has already presided over Rangers’ worst start in decades. The reaction from pundits highlights how serious the situation has become. They see a manager out of his depth and a player who disrespected the shirt. Supporters want standards restored and discipline reinforced. They believe Rangers cannot afford passengers or weak leadership. That was evident in the comments and the numbers behind the vote. The fanbase has lost patience with both sides of this row.

It is telling that the discussion did not focus on tactical choices or injury excuses. The supporters saw the bigger picture and it was about respect for Rangers. They want authority back at Ibrox and they want loyalty on the pitch. Neither Martin nor Igamane gave them that in Paisley and both now stand condemned. The verdict of the poll gave a platform for thousands of fans to have their say and the conclusion was brutal. The conclusion was that Rangers must act and remove both men to restore belief.

The debate will continue but the overwhelming message is now clear. Rangers fans want a strong new manager and players who fight for the club. Anything less is not acceptable. The Ibrox Noise poll showed the strength of feeling and it is a warning. Rangers can only move forward when the board listens to the supporters and takes decisive action. Rangers fans want Hamza and Martin gone.
