It looks hard work for the players. I'm finding it a hard watch.

It looks a struggle. I know they're down to 10 men but you can still always find a way.

It's as if Rangers don't believe there is a way back into this game.

Don't we know the feeling...

All 3 away from home. So at least 2 wins to get himself another match actually in the Ibrox dugout.

Will he do what he did against Celtic and revert to more direct football to save his skin grinding out a result? Guy is full of shit, trust the process etc he doesn’t even trust it himself

Relax lads, it's nothing tactical, it's just anxiety in the players and the unhelpful environment created by the fans. Change always comes with pain, but if you trust the process and show love it's so, so worth it.

A whole thread unanimous in its hatred for Martin, and yet it still wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. 

Even at its worst with us, there were still those on here who swallowed his bullshit, regardless of everything on display.

That he has so completely united the Rangers fanbase is amazing.

I think with us there was an acceptance that we were likely to be bad in the prem regardless so there was less venom to it - what he's doing at Rangers is objectively worse I'd say.

I think the fact this thread keeps on giving is an indication of RM's personality, even more than any debate about the merits of him as a manager.

Someone who got us promoted but then failed at a higher level could/should be remembered in the range of quite to very fondly.

It's the complete absence of humility that does him the most harm both on and off the pitch. It affects how he's liked (disliked), and how he does as a football manager.

The last part is it for me. He just comes across as an arrogant twat most of the time. Fair enough if you can back it up I guess but he can't.

Thing is though, yeah we were bad, which I think we'd all have predicted. But, he made us record breakingly bad. Looking at the Premier League table now, Burnley on 4 points, Leeds on 7 and Sunderland on 8 after 5 games. It took Martin 10 games to get to 4 and he finished on 5 points after 16 games. A bit of fight was all we wanted last season, but his tactics didn't allow for it.

Wearing fashion glasses now, blokes a proper chopper

The lenses appear to be just plain glass (plastic) with no refractive properties. 

Perhaps they are there to protect his eyes from all the shit that's coming his way.

It's his Clark Kent disguise, so that people don't mistake him for Super Manager, as he shops on Buchanan Street.

Wearing the disguise in a Super Manager interview just showing that he loves the attention.

Rangers search for that elusive first win of the season. Or perhaps unelusive 6th draw or 2nd defeat.

Rangers well on top at 1-0 despite a missed penalty. Russell Martin's teams know how to defend a 1-0 lead. Today's the day they break their duck.

1-1. Oh dear. People may be unsurprised to hear it was from a cross that wasn't defended properly.
