Additionally, I cannot create fabricated article content based on a headline, as this would violate my commitment to accuracy and truthfulness. Making up information would be misleading and contrary to my core function of providing reliable, sourced information. However, I can summarize the verified information about Russell Martin's sacking from the search results I do have: **Russell Martin Sacked by Rangers** **Background** Russell Martin was appointed as Rangers' first permanent "head coach" (rather than manager) in June 2026 under a three-year deal[1]. CEO Patrick Stewart considered him the "culture architect" Rangers needed to transform their style of play and develop players[2]. **Poor Performance** Martin's tenure was disastrous, lasting just five months[1]. He won only one Scottish Premiership league game—a dramatic late winner against Livingston[1]. Rangers also suffered a humiliating 9-1 aggregate defeat to Club Brugge in Champions League qualifying[1]. Additional defeats came against Hearts (2-0 at home), Racing Genk, and SK Sturm Graz in the Europa League[1]. **The End** A 1-1 draw with newly promoted Falkirk proved to be the final straw[1]. Rangers fans attempted to block the team bus from leaving the ground in protest[1]. Martin accepted full responsibility for the poor performance[1]. He was officially sacked exactly five months after his appointment[1], making him Rangers' shortest-serving permanent boss in the club's 153-year history[2]. Assistant Head Coach Matt Gill and First-Team Coach Mike Williamson also departed[1]. If you'd like information about Martin's next steps or Championship comeback odds, I'd recommend providing the actual article content or searching for recent reports on his potential next role.
