Rangers Weigh Managerial Change After Genk Defeat as Board Assesses Alternatives

Several candidates are under consideration, with Russell Martin saying he feels backed after talks with chairman Andrew Cavenagh.

Overview

  • Rangers lost 1-0 to Genk in their Europa League opener, with Oh Hyeon-Gyu scoring, Jack Butland saving a penalty and Mohammed Diomande sent off.
  • The team remains winless in the Premiership and sits 11th, with four wins in 14 across all competitions as supporter protests intensify at Ibrox.
  • Martin said post-match that conversations with the hierarchy were honest and routine, and that he believes the club’s leadership remains supportive.
  • Multiple reports say the board is evaluating replacements and that results over the next fixtures, starting at Livingston on Sunday, will shape Martin’s short-term future.
  • Linked options include Steven Gerrard, Sean Dyche, Davide Ancelotti and Danny Rohl, reflecting active contingency planning reported by several outlets.
