Rangers suffered a 9-1 aggregate defeat to Club Brugge in the Champions League play-offs, losing 6-0 away after Max Aarons was sent off in the eighth minute following a 3-1 Ibrox defeat. The 6-0 reverse was the club's heaviest away loss since October 1963 against Real Madrid. Rangers have now failed to reach the Champions League group stage in three consecutive seasons and last appeared in 2022-23. Russell Martin's tenure is under three months, with fans chanting for his removal and displaying a banner demanding his exit. No win has been recorded in the first three Premiership matches, the worst start for a new Rangers boss since 1978. An apology was offered to travelling supporters and those at home. Chief executive Patrick Stewart and sporting director Kevin Thelwell remain supportive, and an Old Firm derby against Celtic is the next fixture.
I have nothing to say but really apologise to the fans that travelled and the fans back home,
Patrick and Kevin, I've had a chat with them already. They're amazingly supportive. They knew this would take time, they understand the club's position.
Get him out now before the seats are empty.
