Ibrox side dismiss Martin after 17 fixtures.
After just 17 games in charge, Russell Martin has been dismissed as Rangers manager, as the club declared "although transition phases demand patience, results have not met expectations".
His last match in charge was the 1-1 draw at Falkirk on Sunday, subsequently necessitating security protection away from the grounds when supporters attempted to block the team bus from exiting.
Martin had faced mounting criticism and resistance from the club's followers during a disappointing opening period to the term.
It took Rangers until late September to achieve their initial Scottish Premiership victory, following the humiliating an embarrassing 9-1 total setback against Club Brugge during Champions League qualification last August.
The club's statement emphasized that organizational changes need understanding, however performances should reach anticipated levels.
