Like most fans I'll be over the moon if Stevie G returns.

Unlike most fans I actively want him to bring Beale back with him - Gerrard & Beale clearly better together than apart, we'd be almost guaranteed to become good again with them both, and Beale genuinely loved the club too, I thought.

Russel Martin leaves Rangers with a record of 5 wins & 6 draws from 17 games. Win% of 29.4%, Points per game of 1.23.

Compare to our previous worst ever managers:

Paul Le Guen, 16 wins, 8 draws from 31 games, win 51.6%, ppg 1.8

Pedro Caixinha, 14 wins, 5 draws from 26 games, 53.8% wins, ppg 1.8.

At least three ITK posters on FF say they think he's been sacked.

Sky Sports say his job is hanging by a thread.

🙏🏻 It's nearly over 🙏🏻

Should have sacked him after Brugges - Should have sacked after Hearts - Should have sacked him after Genk and Graz - Should sack him tonight - Otherwise what does it say about standards at this club

Nah he wanted to go to the EPL, we weren't going to keep him.

The original sin was sacking Gio, who had proven how good he could make us.

I'd take Gerrard back obvs, or Gio, even Beale, or Dyche, John McGlynn, Hyacinth Bucket, or an inanimate carbon rod.

No, you don't also have to have a way to win. You just have to win. Seven other Scottish teams are doing it better than you, six on a fraction of our budget.

If we draw or lose but play well, then ok, to an extent.

But losing and drawing and playing terribly, every game, is not ok on any level.

Rangers Review @rangersreview.bsky.social · 3d

"I hear everyone saying it all the time, 'you just have to win.' You also have to have a way to win and a way to learn and grow and develop."

Russell Martin insists he still "feels supported" from within Rangers after a 1-1 draw with Falkirk.

Why Russell Martin 'feels supported' as he faces more questions on Rangers future

I can't take any joy from being absolutely terrible but somehow 1-0 up against Falkirk.

Martin's 17th game and we are just as shambolic at the back as we were in his first game v Panathinaikos. He's learned nothing. This can't go on.

Glasgow Rangers Chat @glasgowrangerschat.bsky.social · 3d

1-0 Rangers! It’s the first bit of quality from either side really - Nice ball in from Cornelius and Miovski applies the finish from close range - Can they settle now and put this to bed?

A good move for the goal from Cornelius and Miovski but this has been a turgid watch again. Second to everything for almost the entire first half which shows big issues with desire and commitment in this Rangers squad.

Ally @broonsky.bsky.social · 3d

This is one of the worst Rangers performances I've ever seen. Again!

Falkirk are playing us off the park. Falkirk!

Rangers being owned by Falkirk. The board must sack Martin over the international break.

We have two ways of scoring.

Gassama ignores Martin's system and just runs at players.

Or set-pieces.

Whatever patterns Martin is coaching them, do not work.

deanjr.bsky.social @deanjr.bsky.social · 6d

Tremendous goal from Gassama. Really direct play.

Ally @broonsky.bsky.social · 6d

He'll need to win the next 6 games in a row just to get to 50% win rate - still slightly LOWER than our worst ever managers.

But he won't. After 16 games he can't even win 2 in a row. Our defence is a shambles and our attack is anaemic.

He has no idea what he's doing.

Ally @broonsky.bsky.social · 6d

How many different ways can it be said - Martin is a dreadful coach and he needs to be replaced, now.

I don't care about his philosophy or his style or his ideas. His team is a shambles.

Even PLG and Pedro, our worst ever managers, won >50% of their games with us.

Martin will be at 31% tonight.

Honestly. It's unbelievable how bad this team is at defending, attacking, in fact, everything. Can't wait until the after match press conference to hear the excuses tonight.

Once upon a time when #RangersFC were a really decent side, the Gers beat #SturmGraz 5-0. That win came in the 00/01 #UCL - with Mols, Ron de Boer, Albertz, Van Bronckhorst and Dodds all scoring. #SGRRAN #UEL

Never before felt angry that we (we!) scored an injury-time winner.

Because it just lets him off the hook, he'll be gaslighting us now about this performance, just like after Genk when he blamed everything on the red card.

We were utterly awful again today and the goal doesn't change that.

Glasgow Rangers Chat @glasgowrangerschat.bsky.social · 10d

Such a shit performance and a win surely amongst the worst possible outcomes at this point - The Russell Martin zombie regime gets another few days at least
