Every Rangers player on October international duty – Who they’re playing and how to watch
Rangers have been afforded a much-needed international break, with Russell Martin being sacked on Sunday.
The Scottish manager’s dismissal felt inevitable after dropping points against Falkirk in the William Hill Premiership on 5 October.
Andrew Cavenagh and 49ers Enterprises have told players to stay away from Auchenhowie for some time as the search for Martin’s replacement intensifies.
While those who haven’t been called up by their respective national teams have been given time off, the Glaswegian outfit will be represented on the international stage in the coming days.
