Angus Gunn Understands Rangers' Pursuit of 'Very Intellectual Guy' Russell Martin
- Russell Martin, a 39-year-old former Rangers and Scotland defender, has emerged as the front-runner to become Rangers' head coach in 2025 after Philippe Clement's sacking in February.
- Martin’s appointment follows Rangers’ recent takeover, a £20 million investment pledge, and raised expectations amid competition with Celtic’s possession-based football dominance.
- Martin applies a possession-based style focusing on controlling the ball to overwhelm opponents, a method praised by former teammates like Steven Naismith and Angus Gunn for its clarity and effectiveness.
- Naismith described Martin’s approach as 'a very enjoyable way of working' that secures instant buy-in from players through excellent communication and training detail, supported by observed pitch performance.
- Martin’s potential appointment suggests Rangers aim to blend his intellectual coaching style with substantial investment to meet fans’ demands and revive competitiveness in Scottish football.
