Rangers fire Russell Martin just 17 games.
After just 17 games in charge, Russell Martin has been dismissed as Rangers manager, with the club stating "even though rebuilding takes time, results have not met expectations".
The 39-year-old's final game was the 1-1 draw at Falkirk on Sunday, subsequently necessitating law enforcement accompaniment from the venue as spectators sought to prevent the squad vehicle from exiting.
Martin had faced mounting criticism and resistance from the club's followers during a disappointing opening period to the season's commencement.
Rangers required until September's conclusion to record their maiden Scottish Premiership victory, following the humiliating a humiliating 9-1 aggregate defeat versus Belgian side Club Brugge during Champions League qualification last August.
The announcement stressed that rebuilding processes demand time, yet outcomes need to satisfy requirements.
Essential Details
