Ally McCoist has insisted Russell Martin's only chance to survive at Rangers is to go on a lengthy winning streak.
The Ibrox hero has admitted it is going to be extremely difficult for the Rangers boss to come back with growing pressure over his position and major fan discontent.
For McCoist, the only solution is to win and make a habit of it if Martin is to stand any chance of remaining in post at Ibrox.

"The only way that Russell can get through it, it's not rocket science, he has got to win games," said McCoist on talkSPORTBet's The Final Third show.
"He has got to go on a run to go seven, eight, nine, ten wins, I don't know what it is, keep winning and keep winning and see where it takes him."
Asked if there is a possibility for Martin to win back supporters after a difficult start to life in Glasgow, he continued: "It is going to be very difficult. Very, very difficult.
"His only chance is to go on a run.
"It's at the stage now when even when the boys got the winner at the weekend there, you could still hear the dissent coming from the crowd immediately after the goal.

"It is tough. I've been there when things ain't going well, and I can tell you it is tough.
"Nothing would please me more than if we went on a run of 12, 13 victories in a row and things in the garden all of a sudden became rosy, but it is very difficult."
