Overview

• Rangers were routed 6-0 by Club Brugge in the second leg to lose 9-1 on aggregate and drop into the Europa League.
• Martin says he retains backing from chief executive Patrick Stewart and sporting director Kevin Thelwell, and he has held supportive talks with chairman Andrew Cavenagh.
• The Rangers Supporters Association publicly urged the club to sack Martin, with fans chanting for his removal and a banner reading “Get him out now” placed at Ibrox.
• Martin will take charge against Celtic on Sunday after three successive 1-1 league draws left Rangers winless in the Premiership, with defeat set to leave them nine points behind.
• The Bruges collapse featured an 8th‑minute red card for Max Aarons and a 5-0 halftime deficit; the result marked a joint-third biggest Champions League play-off margin as Martin fell to three wins in 10 games, the worst start by a permanent Rangers manager.
