The Rangers club dismiss head coach Martin after 17 matches.

Rangers have terminated Russell Martin's contract as head coach following 17 matches, as the club declared "even though rebuilding takes time, results have not met expectations".

The manager's concluding fixture concluded with Sunday's 1-1 tie away to Falkirk, after which he required security protection away from the grounds when supporters attempted to prevent the squad vehicle from departing.

The coach encountered growing disapproval from Rangers fans following an underwhelming beginning to the season's commencement.

The club waited until the end of September to secure their first Scottish Premiership victory, following the humiliating a humiliating 9-1 aggregate defeat against Club Brugge during Champions League qualification last August.

The announcement stressed that organizational changes need understanding, but ultimately results should reach anticipated levels.
