He's off to a good start. Keeps rosary beads in his back pocket Hired his wee pal as head of recruitment Hired a green party member and vegan as manager Bring back that wee James Bond baddie Wilson. All is forgiven.

If the board think he is the man to take us forward, they need to back him in the transfer market. Don't appoint him and expect him to do anything with this squad of toilets.

All fan media now says Martin is a go.

To be fair to Ross, he was a good enough defender. Recent coaching experience with Fylde giants, Fleetwood Town.

Russell Martin: Who is the Rangers frontrunner and what could the fans expect from the former Southampton boss? https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.skysports.com/amp/football/news/11781/13379015/russell-martin-who-is-the-rangers-frontrunner-and-what-could-the-fans-expect-from-the-former-southampton-boss

A failure, too, then

I only know that he's worked with Martin as a technical development coach for the past 5 years.

Russell Martin and Maurice Ross will build the best defence ever...

Sounds right to me as is your analysis of Walter’s stranglehold over celtic - solid defence, hitting on the break with very good players. Rangers defence has become less and less solid and there have been few very good players. (See my previous maunderings passim on Smith v celtic and City v Everybody)

As good as Official. Change the thread title.

Matty Gill? Where sits he in your panoply of failed hipsters?

Ultimately, Martin's CV and playing style is a perfect example of what we don’t want. Low block an issue. Defence an issue. Failure at set pieces. Recent managers failed to address these issues and now we seem Hell bent on bringing in another manager who has these blots on his CV. FFS! Add in that he is a 'philosopher' who has never heard of pragmatism, far less empiricism, and who elevates style over substance, and we look done for. Wtf is Matty Gill? And wtf has he done to warrant a job at Rangers?

Maurice Ross is a strange pick. I'm not sure where the connection is with Martin. I don't think it matters: he'll just be an assistant with a club link, like Alex Rae, because Martin does the coaching.

My big concern about Russell Martin as Rangersmanager is that, from what I’ve read, he appears to be Warburton MK II (no plan B when plan À isn’t working. Just do plan A better). We need a good tactician who, when needed, makes effective changes during games. We don’t need another one trick pony like Warburton

H&H haven't said anything for a day on this and what RR speculate on this morning, is nothing by 5pm. Keith Jackson for some reason or another keeps getting inside scoops that have been spot on (I'm thinking King). Stadium tours are cancelled tomorrow, and Record Sport are saying an agreement in principle between all parties is there. Martin's the new Manager, n he's bringing Maurice Ross 😂

God loves a trier......

The DR know about as much as we do. Article full or could's and maybes. H&H re-tweeting that we are still in discussions with multiple candidates and Rangers Review saying this morning the DA still very much in the frame.

Russell Martin's imminent return to Ibrox has been agreed in principle and is expected to be confirmed in the next 48 hours. Record Sport understands Martin’s appointment as Philippe Clement’s successor is now in the final stages pending contracts being rubber stamped and the make-up of his backroom team approved, ratified and signed off by the Ibrox club’s new board. It’s understood Martin’s long term assistant boss Matty Gill has been lined up to follow the 39-year-old north of the border, after the pair linked up together at MK Dons, Swansea and Southampton. And, as we revealed last week, former Rangers full-back Maurice Ross has also been earmarked for a key role in the coaching staff if Martin lands the top job, with further additions expected. Martin and his men have emerged as the clear front-runners following a major plot twist in talks with rival target Davide Ancelotti. It’s understood, over the last two days, Ancelloti has suddenly appeared to cool on the prospect of making the move from Madrid to Glasgow’s south side. Ancelotti had seemed in pole position after holding a series of discussions with sporting director Kevin Thelwell and Gretar Steinsson, football adviser to the San Francisco 49ers. It’s understood incoming chairman Andrew Cavenagh has also been involved in the final stages of those talks. But sources in Milan have now confirmed to Record Sport that Ancelotti’s camp began to stall on a move to Ibrox at the start of this week. The timing seems significant as it coincides with dramatic developments at the San Siro and the news that Simone Inzaghi is on the verge of quitting Champions League runners-up Inter Milan for a lucrative move to Saudi outfit Al-Hilal.

Who keeps leaking to the DR fuck sake?

SGs daughter just posted on socials - heading home with a blue love heart. Just adding to the general madness of this thread.

Its also going to be x many residents who will be able to object to any future building works, concerts, parking, around the stadium. Its so short sighted.

Yeah, the worst for me. All other decisions are short term and can be corrected over time. This one means we've lost an asset for ever. It was sold so that NEH could be finished in time for the 150 year celebrations (it wasn't) and was very much a vanity project for the directors. We may not use it for much at the moment, other than match day parking, but who knows what future generations could have used it for. Plus it takes away much needed car parking spaces at a time when the council are trying to restrict match day parking nearby and punishes those whop struggle walking. I have 2 friends who would be unable to attend unless they're in the car park and this will potentially prevent them attending as they don't have the club-issued disabled passes, which will become harder to obtain. It's a disgrace!

Great story.🤣
