Rangers Supporters Association state Russell Martin inaction is 'damaging club'

The Rangers Supporters Association have reiterated their stance that Russell Martin should be relieved of his duties as manager.

The group have released another statement on the circumstances at Ibrox, calling for Martin to be sacked with a warning that the inaction from club chiefs is "damaging the club rather than helping it".

The RSA have demanded that the club acts quickly to resolve the situation, citing poor performances and falling ticket sales in their latest public address over matters at Ibrox.

It comes after the Union Bears called for both Martin and chief executive Patrick Stewart to be removed from their respective posts at the club.

The RSA posted on social media: “The Rangers Supporters Association maintains our position regarding the head coach.

“The continued lack of visible action from the club is deeply concerning, especially in light of poor performances on the pitch and falling ticket sales.

“This inaction is damaging the club rather than helping it.

“We are also aware that our members clubs are being directly affected, with apathy already beginning to set in among supporters.

“The club must act now to resolve this situation and set out a clear strategy for the way forward.”

The Union Bears had stated: "The Union Bears stand with fellow fan groups and the wider support in demanding the immediate removal of the Rangers management team and CEO.

"Russell Martin has shown beyond doubt that he is not capable of leading Rangers Football Club. The performances under his management are a disgrace to the standards this club was built on. Rangers cannot afford constant upheaval, but in Martin's case there can be no debate. His failure is absolute, and he must be removed from his duties immediately.

"Patrick Stewart has been quick to criticise supporters, yet has refused to take responsibility for his own catastrophic decision. As CEO, the appointment of Russell Martin lies entirely with him. The failure proves he is unfit to lead Rangers. His position is untenable, and he must be held accountable.

"The new owners must act quickly and decisively. If they do not, they will leave the support with no option but to act. Rangers must have a management team and a squad capable of delivering success worthy of our history and our support.

"A series of protest actions have already been planned, beginning with Saturday's match. Unless changes are made before then, these actions will be made known to the wide support."
