Rangers dismiss Russell Martin after 17 games.
After just 17 games in charge, Russell Martin has been dismissed as Rangers manager, with the club stating "even though rebuilding takes time, results have not met expectations".
His last match in charge concluded with Sunday's 1-1 tie away to Falkirk, after which he required law enforcement accompaniment from the venue as spectators sought to prevent the squad vehicle from departing.
Increasing scrutiny had been directed at Martin and opposition from Ibrox supporters amid a poor start to the season to the campaign.
The club waited until the end of September to secure their first domestic triumph, while the team suffered an embarrassing 9-1 total setback from Club Brugge during Champions League qualification in August.
The club's statement emphasized that rebuilding processes demand time, yet outcomes must meet expectations.
