Ibrox side sack Russell Martin just 17 games.
Russell Martin has been sacked as Rangers head coach after 17 games, with the club stating "even though rebuilding takes time, results have not met expectations".
The 39-year-old's final game was the 1-1 draw at Falkirk on Sunday, after which he required security protection from the venue when supporters attempted to halt the team coach from departing.
Martin had faced mounting criticism and opposition from Ibrox supporters amid a poor start to the season to the campaign.
Rangers required until September's conclusion to record their maiden league win, and the side endured a devastating 9-1 combined loss versus Belgian side Club Brugge during Champions League qualification during August.
Officials highlighted that transition periods require patience, however performances need to satisfy requirements.
Main Developments
