The Rangers club fire Martin after 17 fixtures.
After just 17 games in charge, Russell Martin has been dismissed as Rangers manager, as the club declared "even though rebuilding takes time, outcomes didn't reach required standards".
The manager's concluding fixture ended with a 1-1 stalemate against Falkirk on Sunday, following which he needed law enforcement accompaniment away from the grounds after fans tried to halt the team coach from leaving.
The coach encountered growing disapproval and resistance from the club's followers during a disappointing opening period to the term.
It took Rangers until late September to record their maiden league win, following the humiliating a devastating 9-1 combined loss from Club Brugge in European playoff matches during August.
The club's statement emphasized that transition periods require patience, but ultimately results must meet expectations.
