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.
