Russell Martin is set to be appointed new Rangers Manager.

[KOL]

I see that being said about Martin a lot, but I can't say I've seen that at all. Perhaps it's like that on X, but on the forums the views of him are almost universally negative, with a few, such as myself, offering a somewhat half hearted defence.

Again no mention of Duff. If we were shit a lot of the time under Martin, we were even shittier under Duff. I can't help but think that his dour, northern working class persona is the reason he gets a free ride. Harder to hate than Martin's persona (although ironically Martin had a very tough working class upbringing).

It's quite insane on a large part of SCFC Twitter - please don't call it X - it's like a bloody cult. Baffling. There genuinely is a fetish about the way he used to fist pump the East stand. I swear there's some otherwise straight men who'd love some sort of personal fist pumping from him.

He’ll be using this as a chance to show off his style of play in Europe as the media love it and in a league they’re expected to dominate with Celtic, he will do a Gerrard and hope to get a bigger move for the Prem/Europe.

He'll soon get found out up there and that should be that for him.
If he can't win anything in Scotland, he shouldn't get another job full stop.
Brendan will have a field day against him in the derby.

Fair enough. I find it strange that Martin can create such strong feelings positive and negative. Having a strong ego isn't a bad trait in a manager, as Brian Clough demonstrated. It helps if you have the right footballing ideas mind.
