Russell Martin confirms Andrew Cavenagh Rangers talks after Genk defeat

Russell Martin revealed he would speak to Rangers chairman Andrew Cavenagh following the Europa League loss to Genk.

The Ibrox boss was quizzed on discussions with the chairman, who has been in Scotland for the last week and was in attendance for the Europa League contest on Thursday.

However, Martin brushed off the question as he stated he would find out Cavenagh's thoughts after carrying out media duties at Ibrox.

He said: "I will find out in about 15 minutes. I look forward to seeing him and chatting to him."

On the difficult relationship with supporters with chants of 'Martin, get to f***' heard at full-time, Martin said: "I said so many times before, the only thing that will impact that is winning football matches.

"I think inside the building, they have been amazing, the players, the staff, so we have to keep focusing on that and the outcome will end up being positive.

"Hopefully, that will end up turning the supporters."

Reflecting on the performance, Martin said: "I think it is difficult because we were down to ten men for so long.

"We had good control and then a tough spell when we had to defend a little bit.

"I thought we rode that out, and then Dio gets sent off and it changes the game.

"The lads I thought were good second half, we looked a threat on the break.

"They scored a goal we shouldn't concede."
