Rangers-linked Russell Martin speaks on job hopes

Russell Martin admits he hopes to get back into management amid links to the Rangers job.

The former Gers and Scotland defender has been out of work after being sacked by Southampton at the tail end of last year and has been heavily quoted in the running for the Ibrox vacancy.

With Davide Ancelotti and Steven Gerrard firmly in contention, it is believed Martin is another potential option.

That's despite strong suggestions last week he was due to take over at Leicester City.

Amid all the swirling rumours, the 39-year-old admits he's itching to get back in somewhere.

He told Sky Sports: "I hope so [to return soon].

"I honestly haven't got a clue at the moment, but I hope so.

"I miss it. Days like today (the Championship playoff final) definitely make you miss it—not even just moments like this, but being involved in something with a team. Looking at the coaching staff and the players, yes, you miss that.

"I’ve enjoyed the break. It’s been a great time to reflect and take stock, but yes, I hope to be back in a dugout at some point soon."
