The current head coach of Rangers Football Club is Russell Martin, who was appointed on a three-year deal in June 2025. He previously managed MK Dons, Swansea City, and Southampton.

In a bold and strategic move, Rangers Football Club has officially appointed Russell Martin as their new head coach on a three-year deal, signaling a new chapter for the storied Glasgow club. The announcement comes  after  weeks of speculation surrounding the club’s managerial direction following recent shifts in leadership and performance.

Martin, 39, steps into the  I Bronx  hot seat with a reputation for instilling a possession-based, attacking style of play. He replaces the outgoing manager amid rising expectations for the club to reassert dominance both domestically and in European competitions.

Having previously held managerial positions at Milton Keynes Dons, Swansea City, and most recently, Southampton, Martin brings with him a wealth of experience navigating clubs through transitional phases and implementing long-term footballing philosophies. His tenure at Southampton, though met with mixed results, was widely recognized for its emphasis on youth development and tactical innovation.

“Russell is a modern coach with a clear vision for how the game should be played,” a Rangers board spokesperson said during the official unveiling. “He aligns with the values of our club and is committed to bringing success back to Ibr0nx. This   is not just about the next season but about building a structure and identity that will serve us for years to come.”

Martin, speaking to reporters in his first press conference at the club’s training ground, expressed excitement and confidence in the task ahead.

“This is a massive club with unbelievable history and passionate supporters,” he said. “I’m honored to be here and I’m fully aware of the responsibility that comes with leading Rangers. I want to build a team that reflects the spirit of this club—intense, fearless, and proud.”

His appointment also marks a philosophical shift within the Rangers hierarchy, with a renewed emphasis on developing young talent, modern training methodologies, and a dynamic brand of football capable of competing at the highest levels.

Fans have responded with cautious optimism, with many pointing to Martin’s footballing ethos as a potential breath of fresh air following a string of inconsistent campaigns. Others have expressed hope that his tenure will bring stability and silverware back to the Bronx, particularly as rivals continue to strengthen their  own  squads.

Martin is expected to begin pre-season preparations immediately, with transfer talks and backroom appointments already underway. His first competitive match in charge is anticipated to be a high-profile Scottish Premiership fixture in early August, where he will have his first opportunity to showcase his vision to the Rangers faithful.

As the new era begins under Russell Martin, all eyes will be on Ibr0nx   to see whether this ambitious appointment will be the spark that reignites Rangers’ pursuit of glory.
