Russell Martin sacked by Rangers after only one league win
Russell Martin has been sacked as Rangers head coach after a 1-1 draw with Falkirk left the club in the bottom half of the William Hill Premiership.
Martin presided over only one victory in seven league games and a total of five wins in 17 matches across all competitions, failing to meet club expectations.
Fan anger was palpable, with supporters requiring mounted police to escort Martin from the Falkirk Stadium car park and surrounding the team bus.
The club confirmed Martin's departure, along with assistant Matt Gill and first-team coach Mike Williamson, citing unmet expectations for results.
Martin, who took responsibility for the team's overall predicament, was appointed just four months ago following a lengthy recruitment process.
