Rangers figures expect exit as Russell Martin eyes Ibrox raid
The former Ibrox manager is plotting a swoop on his old club as he prepares to take over at the King Power Stadium.
Martin was sacked by the Govan side in October after just 17 games in the dugout.
He won just five of those matches and never formed a relationship with the fanbase in Glasgow, alienating them from the very start of his reign.
Now, though, he will look to poach one of Danny Rohl's staff for his new role, once it is confirmed.
Who is Russell Martin trying to poach from Rangers?
Martin is looking to bring sports science chief Rhys Owen to the former Premier League champions, who are now in League One.
A report from the Daily Record on 7 June claims that senior Gers figures expect their head of performance to exit and link up with Martin again, despite him not informing them of such intentions at the moment.
They had previously worked together at Swansea and Southampton before the beleagured stint with the Light Blues, which saw the manager sacked.
Why Martin will haunt Rangers once again
Rohl will need to replace Owen, as his role is a crucial one in Govan, and it was telling that he stayed after his boss left.
His role is responsible for strength and conditioning, nutrition, psychology, and match analysis, and ultimately plays a role in keeping players fit and stopping injuries.
There are reinforcements needed across the park, if they are have any chance of getting near their rivals next season, and not having another embarrassing campaign.
Having to find Owen's replacement as well will take away some attention from that, and Martin may hamper the Gers once again, a long time after he was dismissed from his post.
His appointment will come back to haunt the G51 side, in more ways than one in the coming years, and they will regret even letting him step foot through the Auchenhowie doors.
