SPFL Premiership News

Rangers' sporting director Kevin Thelwell has given Russell Martin his full vocal support, declaring that he is "certain" Martin will ride out his difficult start

Russell Martin revealed he has "more support than ever" from Rangers' owners following the goalless draw against Celtic at Ibrox.

Russell Martin was handed some much-needed respite as Rangers fought out a goalless draw against Celtic at Ibrox on Sunday.

Former Southampton manager Russell Martin wore the wrong shoes at his first news conference as Rangers manager, and it's only gone downhill from there. It shows how managing one of Scotland's big two clubs isn't as good as you'd think.

Russell Martin said he has retained the backing of the Rangers board but the oldest and biggest supporters group of the club have called for him to be sacked.
