Rangers appoint Russell Martin

Three-year deal for ex-Scotland defender

Russell Martin is the new head coach of Rangers.

The former Scotland defender has signed a three-year contract at Ibrox to replace Philippe Clement.

Martin, who enjoyed a short playing spell with Rangers, has managerial experience with MK Dons, Swansea City and Southampton.

Martin's appointment is the latest in a summer of change in Govan with Kevin Thelwell taking up the post of Sporting Director and a US consortium led by Andrew Cavenagh and the 49ers Enterprises assumed majority control.

The new head coach told the club's official website: "It is a privilege to be named Head Coach of Rangers Football Club at the beginning of this exciting new chapter.

"I know what this club demands. From my time here, I had a taste of how special this club is, the expectation, the passion and the history. Now, as I return, I’m determined to bring success back, for the supporters, the players, and everyone inside this club."
