Russell Bremner: Russell Martin needs to go before he is sacked.
Michael Kearney: Too early into his tenure as Rangers manager for him to be sacked? Normally I would agree, however what we are seeing on a game-by-game basis is quite possibly the worst Rangers team we have ever seen. Nobody fears us. Nobody fears coming to Ibrox. It’s still early in the season – if we act now it’s possible we can recover… but not with Martin as manager. He has to go, and go now.
Kevin Ord: Not sure Martin has anything to be proud of, another mountain to climb away from home again. Far too many players just not good enough.
Michael Beck: Team selection all wrong. We needed energy in the middle of the park, which [Lyall] Cameron would have given. [Mikey] Moore should have started. Martin can talk up his philosophy until the cows come home but it just won’t work. The players don’t buy into it, therefore it’s dead in the water. Teams know how to play against Rangers. A high press forces the defence deeper and the mistake will come.
Lorna Stenhouse: Russell Martin reverts back to “the way the club has been for many years” in nearly every interview as one of the reasons the club is not moving forward and this needs fixed. I’d like him to clarify what is he trying to fix? What has been going on?
William MacFarlane: The manager has to go now. He is poor and not a Rangers manager – let him go. The team is poor but he has to go.
Callum Carmichael: I never thought Martin was the right manager for us from day one but having appointed him I was prepared to back him until things went wrong. Things have now gone wrong in a dramatic way and the fact that he won’t change his style of play means that it’s the end for him. Please resign, Mr Martin.
Kevin Sandison: Not even close to being good enough. A lack of tactical knowledge from the manager means he is already on very thin ice. Failure to beat St Mirren, get a better result in Belgium and then the Old Firm could see him out of work on 1 September.
Peter Cooper White: All my years watching Rangers, it’s one of the craziest 20 minutes I’ve witnessed. Then after the game Martin said he was proud of his team. He is so deluded it beggars believe. The board must give him an ultimatum; improve quickly or you’re off.
