Overview
- Rangers confirmed the exits of assistant head coach Matt Gill and first-team coach Mike Williamson alongside Martin.
- Martin won five of 17 matches with just one league victory, leaving the team eighth in the Premiership and 11 points off the leaders after early European setbacks including a 9-1 aggregate loss to Club Brugge and two Europa League defeats.
- Sunday’s 1-1 draw at Falkirk was followed by supporters surrounding the team bus, and Martin departed the stadium under police escort.
- Steven Gerrard is widely reported to be under strong consideration for a return, with Danny Rohl, Sean Dyche and Kevin Muscat also being assessed.
- Martin’s 123-day tenure, the shortest in club history, has heightened scrutiny on sporting director Kevin Thelwell and the 49ers Enterprises-led ownership over recruitment and leadership decisions.
