Russell Martin has caused a huge mess at Rangers since arriving in the summer.

Rangers have been disastrous despite spending heavily since Martin joined, and fans now want to see him replaced.

Sturm Graz were the latest team to beat Rangers, with Martin’s side defending feebly as they made it two losses from two in the Europa League.

Rangers have been woeful both in the Scottish Premiership as well as in Europe, and many are now wishing Steven Gerrard would return to Ibrox.

Rangers were humiliated in the Champions League by Club Brugge in the qualifying rounds, which meant they dropped down to the Europa League.

Losses to Genk and Sturm Graz have followed, and there has been nothing to suggest that Martin’s side will improve any time soon.

Martin has now lost five of his eight European games in charge, a truly dismal record, and this looks even worse when compared to that of Gerrard.

It took Gerrard 32 UEFA matches to lose five games during his successful spell at Ibrox, yet Martin has managed this in just a couple of months.
