Overview

  • Martin has five wins in 16 matches this season, with Rangers eighth in the Premiership and trailing Celtic by seven points and Hearts by nine, according to Football Insider.
  • Video from Graz shows angry fans confronting CEO Patrick Stewart and sporting director Kevin Thelwell in a hotel after the 2-1 defeat to Sturm Graz, the Daily Record reports.
  • Supporters have continued to call for Martin’s removal at matches, including after a late league win over Livingston, per Football Insider.
  • The club is reported to be evaluating potential successors, with Steven Gerrard and Sean Dyche among names linked in recent coverage.
  • Martin says the team’s issues are mental rather than tactical, while Ally McCoist argues only a sustained winning run can protect his job, and Football Insider reports defender Clinton Nsiala may wait to see if a change is made.
