Russell Martin's tenure as manager of Rangers in Glasgow did not go as planned. After just 17 games, he was sacked and the club is now looking for his replacement. The 39-year-old Englishman was appointed in June and had a rough start, winning only five of those games and losing six. His final game as manager was a 1-1 draw against Falkirk, leaving Rangers in eighth place in the Scottish Premiership.
Things took a turn for the worse when Martin had to be escorted by security and given a police escort after the match. Angry fans made their feelings known and it was clear that his time at the club was coming to an end. And on Sunday evening, the club officially announced that they were parting ways with Martin, along with his assistants Matt Gill and Mike Williamson.
In a statement, the club thanked Martin and his staff for their hard work and efforts during their time at the club. However, the results did not meet the expectations of the club. The search for the next manager is now underway and updates will be provided in the future.
Many fans are wondering who will be the next manager of Rangers. The current favorite is Steven Gerrard, who previously managed the club from 2018 to 2021. During his time as manager, he led Rangers to their first Premiership title in 10 years. He most recently managed Al-Ettifaq in the Saudi Pro League before leaving in 2025.
Other contenders for the job include Sean Dyche, Danny Rohl, and Kevin Muscat. Dyche has been without a job since leaving Everton in January, while Rohl is a highly rated young manager who previously coached at Sheffield Wednesday. Muscat, the current manager of Shanghai Port, is also believed to be in the running.
The odds for the next Rangers manager are as follows: Steven Gerrard at 11/8, Sean Dyche at 9/4, Danny Rohl and Kevin Muscat both at 5/1, Derek McInnes at 5/1, Marc van Bommel at 8/1, Gary O'Neil at 10/1, Barry Ferguson at 12/1, and Graham Potter also at 12/1.
The club will have to carefully consider their options and choose the right manager to lead them back to success. The fans will be eagerly waiting to see who will take on this important role.
