'He has to go, and now' - heat on Martin after Rangers shambles

It was a Rangers capacity truthful lamentable it had fans leaving Ibrox earlier half-time - and questions being asked of Russell Martin's early astatine full-time.

Martin has only been successful complaint since June and nan play only began successful earnest a period ago, but nan caller head is already nether superior pressure.

The 3-1 humbling by Club Brugge does not conscionable time off Rangers' Champions League hopes hanging by a thread, it has besides formed uncertainty connected Martin's early arsenic head wrong 3 months of him taking over.

We asked Rangers fans for their verdict connected their squad and their manager, and they were unsurprisingly vigorous successful their responses...

Russell Bremner: Russell Martin needs to spell earlier he is sacked.

Michael Kearney: Too early into his tenure arsenic Rangers head for him to beryllium sacked? Normally I would agree, nevertheless what we are seeing connected a game-by-game ground is rather perchance nan worst Rangers squad we person ever seen. Nobody fears us. Nobody fears coming to Ibrox. It's still early successful nan play - if we enactment now it's imaginable we tin recover... but not pinch Martin arsenic manager. He has to go, and spell now.

Kevin Ord: Not judge Martin has thing to beryllium proud of, different upland to climb distant from location again. Far excessively galore players conscionable not bully enough.

Michael Beck: Team action each wrong. We needed power successful nan mediate of nan park, which [Lyall] Cameron would person given. [Mikey] Moore should person started. Martin tin talk up his accuracy until nan cows travel location but it conscionable won't work. The players don't bargain into it, truthful it's dormant successful nan water. Teams cognize really to play against Rangers. A precocious property forces nan defence deeper and nan correction will come.

Lorna Stenhouse: Russell Martin reverts backmost to "the measurement nan nine has been for galore years" successful astir each question and reply arsenic 1 of nan reasons nan nine is not moving guardant and this needs fixed. I'd for illustration him to explain what is he trying to fix? What has been going on?

William MacFarlane: The head has to spell now. He is mediocre and not a Rangers head - fto him go. The squad is mediocre but he has to go.

Callum Carmichael: I ne'er thought Martin was nan correct head for america from time 1 but having appointed him I was prepared to backmost him until things went wrong. Things person now gone incorrect successful a melodramatic measurement and nan truth that he won't alteration his style of play intends that it's nan extremity for him. Please resign, Mr Martin.

Kevin Sandison: Not moreover adjacent to being bully enough. A deficiency of tactical knowledge from nan head intends he is already connected very bladed ice. Failure to hit St Mirren, get a amended consequence successful Belgium and past nan Old Firm could spot him retired of activity connected 1 September.

Peter Cooper White: All my years watching Rangers, it's 1 of nan craziest 20 minutes I've witnessed. Then aft nan crippled Martin said he was proud of his team. He is truthful deluded it beggars believe. The committee must springiness him an ultimatum; amended quickly aliases you're off.

John Walker: Said it from nan opening - worst assignment Rangers could person made. Russell Martin is simply a joke - he should person stayed down successful nan little Leagues successful England, perchance nan National League, and he mightiness person won nan overseas game.

Andy Cumming: The fans didn't want Martin and he's turning this Rangers broadside into a c transcript of his Southampton side. Look really unfastened and unspeakable they were. How could he person been nan outstanding campaigner for nan job? And whoever employed him should get moved connected too.

Charlie Low: An utter shambles. I person seen U-15 teams amended organised defensively. Our defenders are excessively slow and erratic. We person players who person nary passion for our nine and our head is arsenic bad arsenic Paul le Guen - and he was atrocious. What were our caller owners reasoning erstwhile they picked him? His way grounds is poor.

Owen Lawson: The assignment of Martin was very unusual fixed his dreadful capacity astatine his erstwhile club. No different shape of employment rewards nonaccomplishment for illustration shot does. Giving nan head clip won't activity erstwhile his ideology is not suited to Rangers, who must triumph each game. P45 must beryllium issued soon if this play is to bring immoderate shape of success.

Colin Gardiner: Worst Rangers squad I person seen and nan head must spell if we get beaten successful our adjacent 2 games.

Dave King: Absolute shambles, he's sewage to go. He doesn't look to cognize what his champion 11 is and what his strategies are. Embarrassing.

Paul: One changeable connected target each night. Russell Martin says nan necktie isn't complete and will relish being underdogs arsenic will his players. He honestly thinks pinch that defence, they will spell to Belgium and not concede and people much than two? Honestly, he's conscionable a full embarrassment.

Jim Foster: Martin hasn't sewage a scheme B. After they suffer nan adjacent 3 games, he is gone!

Tim M: Every Rangers instrumentality should perceive to and sorb Russell Martin's post-match news conference. He is precisely right: whenever nan nine has been successful complete nan past 10 years has been axenic vibes and occasional individual brilliance. You cannot simply will a nine into being successful these days based connected history. If you want to build a dynasty you request to build it.

Sadly fans conscionable want instant occurrence and person a consciousness of entitlement mostly because nan home convention is truthful weak. Rangers are only astatine nan commencement of building something, and they request to do it decently if they want to break nan rhythm that has seen Celtic triumph 12 of past 13 convention titles. Give Martin nan clip to present connected nan pitch.

David Murdoch: Going to spell against nan atom present and opportunity this necktie isn't over. We outplayed them successful nan 2nd half aft our scary commencement and we were unlucky not to get different goal. It is simply a large ask, but I backmost this squad to spell complete location and get a result.
