"With champagne dripping from his hair and a 2020-21 Scottish Premiership winner's medal around his neck, then manager Steven Gerrard urged Rangers to "fix the roof while the sun is shining". Spoiler - the roof still ain't fixed and the sun ain't shining no more. Rangers went through four managers - Gerrard, Giovanni van Bronckhorst, Michael Beale and Philippe Clement - in the following four years before getting to Martin."
"The Govan side were a penalty shootout away from winning the Europa League under Van Bronckhorst, then won a Scottish Cup days later. He went with Rangers nine points behind Celtic the following season. Beale and Clement both made positive starts before their reigns unravelled. Beale's side were seven points adrift of Celtic when he was sacked. It was 13 for Clement. Martin leaves Glasgow with Rangers nine off Celtic and 11 behind leaders Hearts after just seven league games."
Russell Martin lasted 123 days as Rangers manager and recorded a 29% win rate, the lowest in the club's history. The tenure left Rangers nine points behind Celtic and 11 behind Hearts after seven league games. Rangers underwent four managers in the four years before Martin: Steven Gerrard, Giovanni van Bronckhorst, Michael Beale and Philippe Clement, with Van Bronckhorst reaching a Europa League final and winning a Scottish Cup. Beale and Clement made positive starts but both saw their positions deteriorate, leaving the club with frequent managerial turnover over the past decade.
