Next Rangers Manager Odds After Russell Martin Sacking
Next Rangers manager odds after Russell Martin’s sacking, with Steven Gerrard the early favourite ahead of Sean Dyche and Danny Rohl, who went on to land the job.
Last Updated 1 week ago
🟢 Outcome: Rangers appointed Danny Rohl as head coach later in October 2025. Priced at 11/2 in this market as an outsider behind early favourite Steven Gerrard, Rohl went on to revive the club’s season and close the gap on Celtic.
Rangers confirmed the sacking of head coach Russell Martin after a torrid start to the season, ending his tenure after just 123 days at Ibrox.
The decision, announced on Sunday 5 October, made Martin the shortest-serving permanent manager in the club’s history.
Why Martin was sacked
A run of inconsistent results left the Glasgow giants eighth in the Scottish Premiership, already 11 points adrift of early leaders Hearts after only seven league games.
Tensions reached boiling point after a 1-1 draw at Falkirk, with some supporters preventing the team bus from leaving the stadium in protest.
Martin’s brief reign was meant to bring a fresh tactical approach, but a lack of cohesion and defensive frailty quickly eroded optimism among fans.
How the market reacted
The uncertainty hit the title betting too. Rangers, 2/1 to reclaim the Premiership at the start of the season, had drifted to 11/1 after their sluggish start.
Attention turned to the next appointment, with former boss Steven Gerrard installed as the early favourite at 5/2.
