Rangers dismiss Russell Martin just 17 fixtures.
After just 17 games in charge, Russell Martin has been dismissed as Rangers manager, as the club declared "although transition phases demand patience, results have not met expectations".
His last match in charge ended with a 1-1 stalemate against Falkirk on Sunday, subsequently necessitating law enforcement accompaniment away from the grounds when supporters attempted to halt the team coach from exiting.
Increasing scrutiny had been directed at Martin from Rangers fans following an underwhelming beginning to the season's commencement.
It took Rangers until late September to achieve their initial Scottish Premiership victory, and the side endured a devastating 9-1 combined loss against Club Brugge in European playoff matches in August.
The announcement stressed that rebuilding processes demand time, however performances need to satisfy requirements.
