Rangers fire Russell Martin following 17 matches.
After just 17 games in charge, Russell Martin has been dismissed as Rangers manager, the club announced "even though rebuilding takes time, outcomes didn't reach required standards".
The manager's concluding fixture was the 1-1 draw at Falkirk on Sunday, following which he needed security protection to leave the stadium when supporters attempted to halt the team coach from departing.
Increasing scrutiny had been directed at Martin from Rangers fans amid a poor start to the season to the season's commencement.
The club waited until the end of September to secure their first league win, following the humiliating an embarrassing 9-1 total setback against Club Brugge in European playoff matches during August.
Officials highlighted that transition periods require patience, yet outcomes must meet expectations.
