Russell Martin has been dismissed as manager of Rangers following a disappointing 1-1 draw against newly promoted Falkirk. The decision came hours after the match on Sunday, leaving Rangers in eighth place in the Scottish Premiership with just one win from seven games. Despite an early disallowed goal by Djedi Gassama, Falkirk proved to be the stronger side. Bojan Miovski scored for Rangers before halftime, but Henry Cartwright equalized shortly after coming on as a substitute. Jack Butland made a crucial save to secure a point for Rangers.

Rangers have not kept a clean sheet away from home since December 2024, a 24-match streak that contributed to Martin's dismissal. Fans expressed their dissatisfaction and called for a managerial change. The team's shaky start to the season continues, and a coaching change seems inevitable to regain stability and avoid further setbacks.
