Rangers are on the verge of appointing Russell Martin as their new head coach, marking a significant move as the club looks to build for the upcoming season. The former Southampton boss has already given his approval to the project and is prepared to embark on this new chapter in his managerial career.
Martin, known for his progressive and possession-based style of football, has been identified as the ideal candidate to lead Rangers forward. His work at Southampton, where he implemented an attractive tactical approach and helped guide the team through a transitional period, caught the attention of the Rangers hierarchy.
With negotiations progressing smoothly and mutual enthusiasm on both sides, the official confirmation of his appointment is expected soon. Rangers see Martin as a modern, forward-thinking coach capable of developing young talent while also competing for domestic honours and making an impact in Europe.
Assuming the role at Ibrox would represent a significant opportunity for Martin to make his mark at one of Scotland’s biggest clubs. The move signals Rangers’ intent to modernise their approach and challenge Celtic’s domestic dominance under a new footballing identity.
