Ibrox side fire Russell Martin following 17 games.
Russell Martin has been sacked as Rangers head coach after 17 games, with the club stating "while all transition periods require some time, outcomes didn't reach required standards".
The manager's concluding fixture concluded with Sunday's 1-1 tie away to Falkirk, subsequently necessitating a police escort from the venue when supporters attempted to block the team bus from departing.
The coach encountered growing disapproval and resistance from the club's followers following an underwhelming beginning to the campaign.
Rangers required until September's conclusion to record their maiden Scottish Premiership victory, while the team suffered a devastating 9-1 combined loss versus Belgian side Club Brugge in European playoff matches during August.
Officials highlighted that transition periods require patience, yet outcomes need to satisfy requirements.
