‘Hurt’ Martin resolute in Rangers mission

Russell Martin, the head coach of Rangers, is open to criticism for calling it “hurts” and calling it “difficult,” but he is steadfast in his belief that his side can succeed.

Rangers finished 10th in the Scottish Premiership without a league win this week as a result of Hearts’ defeat last week. That came after Club Brugge suffered a significant defeat last month in the Champions League play-off, and since taking over as coach in the summer, Martin has only managed three victories in 12.

I have no control over the protest and other things, according to Martin.

“I have to respect it, I have to understand their annoyance and frustration, but I also have to feel it.” We have an incredible opportunity to survive this time, grow through it, and emerge so strong from it.

“I’m hoping that everyone will come together at that point.” Simply put, we must win football games.

It’s a very difficult balance because it hurts professionally and because we’re working so hard to give supporters what they want: a team that succeeds and succeeds, and does it in a certain way. I’m more frustrated than anyone else.

It’s challenging to hear someone say that the team doesn’t appear to be being coached.

Rangers’ next league game might be before they are even halfway there.

Martin says he can’t take the fan protest “personally,” but he is the first Rangers boss since John Greig to not win any of his first five league games since 1978.

He said, “I don’t know any of them, they don’t know me, and they don’t know how hard we’re working,” adding, “I don’t know any of them.”

Because it’s a professional obligation to deal with, it’s much harder for the people who live there, like my family, and other things. You are feared by some.

The head coach revealed that during the time of Hearts’ loss, he had been dealing with a chest infection, and that a close-knit family member had been hospitalized for three days this week.

I was aware of Cavenagh’s presence when he arrived, Martin said, “I was aware of his arrival a few weeks ago.” He has been fantastic. He will observe training the same way he does when he enters today.

Following Rangers’ summer overhaul of signings and departures, Stewart and Kevin Thelwell, the director of football, were defended by Martin.

In the squad for Saturday’s game against Hibs is midfielder Nicolas Raskin, who was cut for Hearts.

Raskin, who was pictured last week at Ibrox, also missed the recent 0-0 draw against Celtic despite Martin’s claim that the Belgium midfielder’s situation was “resolved”

Martin had previously mentioned Raskin needing to “rebuild” trust without fully explaining the reasons for the decision-making.

Martin expressed his excitement over the Belgium international, “I’m looking forward to having him back in.” He does a great job of training. He is well-positioned.

“Maybe it’s necessary for this group to grow, to comprehend what’s really important.
