Overview
- Martin told BBC Radio 5 Live that abuse during his short tenure was so severe his children stayed away from matches, though he described the spell as character building.
- He accepted responsibility for poor results, finishing with five wins, six draws and six defeats across 17 games, including one league victory and a 9-3 Champions League qualifying loss to Club Brugge.
- He outlined sweeping change on arrival, citing new owners, a new football leadership structure and 14 signings, and suggested less drastic turnover might have helped early cohesion.
- He said any public criticism of players reflected messages delivered in the dressing room, adding that later interviews felt like personal attacks unrelated to football.
- Since his exit, Rangers under Danny Rohl have risen to third in the Premiership, with Martin recruits Emmanuel Fernandez and on-loan teenager Mikey Moore becoming regulars and combining for 11 goals.
