"It has been a torrid start to 2025-26 for the Glasgow giants, with pressure already mounting on new manager Russell Martin. Brought in to replace Barry Ferguson over the summer, Martin has overseen a return of four wins, five draws and four defeats from his opening 13 competitive matches. Their league campaign has been especially underwhelming, with four draws and a defeat leaving them 11th in the Premiership."
"The lowest point of Martin's tenure so far came in Europe, where Rangers were dismantled by Club Brugge-losing 3-1 at Ibrox before suffering a humiliating 6-0 defeat in Belgium. Dropping into the Europa League was the inevitable consequence, but there have been small signs of recovery. Most recently, Rangers ended a five-game winless streak by beating Hibernian 2-0 in the League Cup quarter-finals. Martin now seeks back-to-back wins for the first time as Gers boss, with continental points badly needed."
Rangers begin their Europa League campaign at Ibrox under pressure after a poor start to 2025-26 under Russell Martin. The team have won four, drawn five and lost four of 13 competitive matches and sit 11th in the Premiership. Rangers suffered a 3-1 home defeat and a 6-0 loss to Club Brugge, dropping into the Europa League, but beat Hibernian 2-0 to end a five-game winless run. Dujon Sterling is sidelined, Max Aarons is suspended, James Tavernier will start at right-back, and Bojan Miovski is expected to lead the attack. Genk finished third in Belgium but have shown inconsistency, with only three wins from their first ten outings.
