Late-favourite emerges for new Rangers head coach position
- Russell Martin is the leading candidate to become the new head coach of Rangers, following the sacking of Philippe Clement in February.
- Martin, a former Rangers and Scotland defender, is reportedly finalising personal terms after accepting the position.
- The potential appointment follows a series of major developments at Ibrox, including an American consortium led by Andrew Cavenagh and 49ers Enterprises securing a majority shareholding, and Kevin Thelwell starting as the new sporting director.
- Martin was previously sacked by Southampton in December after a 5-0 defeat to Tottenham, despite securing promotion with them the previous season.
- Other candidates considered for the Rangers head coach position included outgoing Real Madrid assistant manager Davide Ancelotti and former Rangers boss Steven Gerrard.
