Martin Hired as Rangers Manager and Handed a Big Task: Regain the Scottish Title From Celtic
- Rangers appointed Russell Martin as their new head coach on June 5, 2025, signing him to a three-year contract in Glasgow to lead the Scottish Premiership club.
- Martin's hiring follows Rangers' dismissal of Philippe Clement in February and a caretaker period under Barry Ferguson amid Celtic's recent dominance of four consecutive league titles.
- Martin, 39, previously managed Swansea for two seasons with mid-table finishes and guided Southampton to Premier League promotion but was sacked after a poor start.
- Rangers chief executive Patrick Stewart stated the club sought a coach to improve playing style, culture, and squad development, while Martin warned that anything less than surpassing Celtic would be a failure.
- Martin's arrival ends a near four-month managerial search under new chairman Andrew Cavenagh and an American consortium, aiming to restore Rangers' success and challenge Celtic's stronghold.
