"Image source, SNS "We'll see". That was the answer Rangers head coach Russell Martin gave when asked if he was certain his board would continue to support him given what is unfolding at Ibrox. It was far from convincing. In stark contrast to his previous statements where certainty oozed out of him during what has now descended into a critical mess for Rangers."
""Will you resign?" he was asked in his press conference, to which he responded with a firm "no," after a fan media representative explained an overwhelming amount of fans want him to leave. That exchange edged on hostile to say the least. This all after enduring the quite venomous wrath of a majority of fans, with the 2-0 defeat at home, to the now Scottish Premiership leaders Hearts, leaving Martin's side 10th out of 12 teams in Scotland's top league after five games."
"It's unthinkable for the club and a support given renewed, and long-awaited, hope of challenging Celtic earlier this year after a US-led consortium took control of the club. Four draws and now a defeat is beyond crisis given the demands of being in charge of Rangers. It's been 47 years since the club failed to win in their opening five league fixtures. You then chuck in a humiliating exit in the Champions League play-off to Club Brugge."
Rangers head coach Russell Martin replied "We'll see" when asked whether the board would continue to support him and later said "no" when asked if he would resign. Fans reacted with venomous wrath after a 2-0 home defeat to Hearts, booing loudly, singing "Sacked in the morning", and many leaving early. Rangers sit 10th of 12 after five league games, failing to win their opening five fixtures for the first time in 47 years. Four draws and a defeat, plus a Champions League play-off exit to Club Brugge, have intensified scrutiny. The continued omission of Belgian midfielder Nicolas Raskin added to tensions.
