Rangers Weigh Managerial Alternatives After Genk Defeat, Martin Faces Short Run to Respond

The board is weighing contingency plans following the Europa League loss, with Russell Martin insisting he retains backing after talks with chairman Andrew Cavenagh.

Overview

  • Genk won 1-0 at Ibrox through former Celtic striker Oh Hyeon‑gyu after Mohammed Diomande’s first‑half red card, deepening Rangers’ poor start.
  • Rangers have four wins in 14 under Martin, are winless in the league and sit 11th, with critics questioning performances and direction.
  • Multiple outlets report the club is assessing replacements and that the next block of fixtures, starting at Livingston before trips to Sturm Graz and Falkirk, will shape Martin’s future.
  • Martin says he has had honest discussions with ownership and believes he retains board support, insisting there is time to “build and win.”
  • Supporter unrest has escalated with protests and chants calling for change, while names linked to a potential vacancy include Steven Gerrard, Sean Dyche, Davide Ancelotti and Danny Rohl.
