Pressure mounts on Rangers head coach Russell Martin after European defeat

News summary

Rangers head coach Russell Martin is under intense pressure following a poor start to the season, including a 1-0 Europa League defeat to Genk that intensified calls for his dismissal. The team has only secured four points from five league games, marking their worst start in 47 years, which has led to criticism from fans and former players. John Collins, a former Hibs manager, argued that constant fan criticism is detrimental to player confidence and does not help improve performance. Steven Thompson noted an air of acceptance in Martin about the mounting pressure, while former players like Kris Boyd suggest the club should consider a new manager. Martin has confirmed he will meet with chairman Andrew Cavenagh to discuss the situation amid speculation over potential replacements such as Steven Gerrard. The upcoming match against Livingston is viewed as critical for Martin's future at Rangers, with a loss likely sealing his fate.
