THERE’S no disguising the strength of feeling amongst Rangers fans about how their team is performing under Russell Martin.
They’re FAR from happy and two Gers fans took the opportunity to make their displeasure known to the club’s sporting director Kevin Thelwell and CEO Patrick Stewart as they met them in the lobby of the team hotel after last night’s 2-1 defeat to Sturm Graz.

Footage widely shared on social mediashows the fans taking Stewart and Thelwell to task over Martin’s appointment.
Thelwell hit the headlines prior to the match with the news that his son Robbie was poised to join the Ibrox recruitment team.
And one fan confronts Thelwell with the words “that’s f***ing garbage”, claiming “I’m spending thousands of f***ing pounds every f***ing week”.
Initially saying “I’d love a wee word with you” the supporter attempts to usher Thelwell off to the side, before the incident is eventually defused with the aid of security.

At the same time another disgruntled fan is speaking to Gers CEO Stewart.
He is overheard claiming that former Ibrox bosses Michael Beale and Philippe Clement would have beaten the likes of Graz and Genk, who have left the Ibrox men pointless after their first two matches of the Europa League campaign.
The fan says: “This is f***ing horrible.”
“Michael Beale would have beaten Genk, Michael Beale would have beaten Dundee, Michael Beale would have beaten all these f***ing sides.

“What has he f***ing won?”
“Every c*** is f***ing scunnered.”
Presumably asked by Stewart who he would have chosen instead, the fan says: “It’s your job to choose the manager.”
Rangers currently sit 32nd without a point to their name in the Europa League standings, and Celtic aren’t too much better off, a solitary point from their two games to date seeing them in 28th.
