Ally McCoist issues three-word response to Russell Martin sack question at Rangers
Rangers fell to yet another defeat as they were beaten by Genk in the Europa League at Ibrox.
Former Celtic striker Oh Hyeon-gyu scored the only goal of the game as Rangers were beaten with 10 men at home.
Russell Martin was booed off yet again by the Ibrox crowd after a dismal start to the season, and there are more and more calls for him to be sacked.
Ally McCoist did not hold back in his criticism of his former side after the game, and gave his verdict on whether Martin could be sacked in the coming days.
Ally McCoist believes Russell Martin will not be sacked yet
Rangers are winless in the Scottish Premiership, and their next game comes away at Livingston, in a must-win game for Martin.
That is, if Martin is not sacked before the weekend, given the fallout from the defeat to Genk, which saw his side fail to score for the fourth time in five games.
- Andrew Cavenagh has backed Russell Martin so far.
- Cavenagh was in attendance at Ibrox to see the defeat to Genk, as well as the empty seats dotted around the stadium.
Rangers fans have completely turned against Martin, and would all like to see him sacked, but this is unlikely to come before the Livingston game.
Speaking on TNT Sports after the defeat to Genk, McCoist was asked whether he thinks Martin will be in charge for the next game, and he gave a blunt response.
“Yes, I do,” McCoist replied.

Rangers have to sack Russell Martin as soon as possible
Martin getting sacked appears to be a matter of when, not if, with Rangers fans completely against him, and his players failing to adapt to his questionable tactical ideas at all.
Rangers fans protested against him, and accused the board of delaying the inevitable, and the longer he stays, the worse it will be.
There were a lot of empty seats at Ibrox for the Genk clash, with fans voting with their feet, and this will directly affect club revenue.
Rangers could end up losing out in every competition the longer they stick with Martin, and this could ruin the season beyond repair, while it is still somewhat salvageable if he is dismissed now.
