Russell Martin doesn't fear for job despite Club Brugge hammering
Last updated 27th Aug 2025
Russell Martin says he doesn't fear for his position as Rangers head coach despite their crushing defeat to Club Brugge.
The Ibrox side were beaten 6-0 in Belgium in the second leg of their Champions League play-off tie - meaning a 9-1 defeat on aggregate.
Supporters in the stands chanted for Martin to be sacked after a disastrous start to life in charge of the club.
After being asked if he feared for his job on TNT Sports, Martin responded: "No. Patrick (Stewart) and Kevin (Thelwell), I've had a chat with them already. They're amazingly supportive.
"They understand that this might take time. They knew this before we came in.
"They understand the club's position and where we're at and now all the focus is on Sunday".
"The only thing we can do tonight is accept the pain, accept the humiliation and accept the hurt that we all should feel and we are all going to feel and then use it.
"Use it as fuel, it's as simple as that.
"There is no other choice. Well, there is another choice but it's not an acceptable one for this group right now.
