Rangers remain winless after three Premiership matches, drawing all three and lying seventh, six points adrift of the side they should be closing on. Russell Martin projects outward confidence while blaming players for not responding and openly criticising individuals, citing Hamza Igamane's claimed injury when asked to substitute. The squad exhibits long-standing issues: lack of energy, courage, tension and self-doubt. Recruitment choices have failed to bring clear improvements, with missed or questionable signings and a failure to re-secure proven performers. Questions over scouting, spending priorities and overall direction now compound on-field problems.
Another day, another debacle for Russell Martin and his winless Rangers team in the Scottish Premiership. Three games, three draws and sitting seventh in the table, already six points behind the team they're supposed to be closing the gap on. It's the worst start to a league season of any permanent Rangers manager in their history. Listening to Martin, you wouldn't think that. Outwardly, at any rate, his confidence in his own ability seems untouched.
He said Hamza Igamane, the promising striker who attracted a bid last week, claimed to be injured when called on to come on as a substitute after an hour. Truth or deflection, it shines a light on the scale of the problems at Rangers. Martin spoke about their poor start, their shortage of energy and courage, their tension and self-doubt.
