Andrew Cavenagh aware of Ibrox fury in Russell Martin sack latest at Rangers
Rangers face an unprecedented crisis with Russell Martin as all eyes are now on Andrew Cavenagh.
The American businessman took over the Gers along with 49ers Enterprises a few months back and promised to bring the good days back to G51, but that hasn’t been the case.
Martin’s future is now uncertain at Ibrox after just 12 games in charge as the Light Blues find themselves 10th in the William Hill Premiership.
Apart from the Scottish manager, Cavenagh may also need to scrutinise Patrick Stewart and Kevin Thelwell at the Glaswegian outfit, as fan fury has reached a boiling point.
Rangers unite behind Martin despite Ibrox dissatisfaction
Martin’s job at the Gers is safe for now as the hierarchy are looking to assist him to turn things around, according to The Rangers Review.
The news outlet reported on 17 September that while Cavenagh and the boardroom recognise the fragile situation at Ibrox, they are backing the Scottish manager.
It’s been claimed that the decision-makers are determined to stick together during a demanding spell and unite behind a common cause.
While the 39-year-old head coach has arguably been given several lifelines at the Glaswegian outfit, his continuity in the dugout may become untenable if results don’t improve.

Russell Martin to get Andrew Cavenagh in trouble at Ibrox
Cavenagh risks being on the receiving end of criticism at Ibrox if he doesn’t stamp his authority and look for a replacement.
The Gers’ chairman must demonstrate to supporters that he means business in G51, and that the promises made after completing the takeover weren’t just empty words.
After an approximate net spend of £20million after the previous transfer window, the US consortium need to take control of the crisis and demand a return on their investment.
- Martin has a 25 per cent win rate at the Gers.
- The Light Blues could potentially drop to the bottom of the table before their next league match.
- The Scottish boss could be the shortest-serving permanent manager in G51 if he’s sacked before December.
Martin’s sacking seems inevitable at Rangers if they lose to Hibernian in the Premier Sports Cup final at home on 20 September.
The Scottish manager has been unable to implement his ideas at the Gers, with the team arguably getting worse after every game.
Cavenagh must recognise the mistake of appointing Martin at the Light Blues and sack him before supporters start pointing fingers at the Americans.
