The Light Blues are yet to win a game in the league this season and have crashed out of the Champions League already too.
And as Lawrence Shankland put Hearts 1-0 up at Ibrox, the Gers faithful erupted ensuring their boss knew exactly how they felt.
After VAR gave the goal the all-clear, chants of “Martin get to f***” could be heard clearly from all corners of Ibrox.
Rangers fans sent a further message to their under-fire boss, as they also broke into their Nicolas Raskin song, who has been frozen out of the Gers squad.

Martin confirmed in Friday’s press conference that the Belgian international was back training with the squad, but has to re-earn the trust of his team mates.
On the midfielder, Martin said: “Every player has a duty to earn the trust of his team-mates and coaching staff to help us win football matches.
“We have to be on the pitch with trust and feeling and clarity and that’s it.
“I think the most important thing is Nico knows why, the players know why and we all move forward.
“He’s part of the squad in training and he needs to help that and put himself back in the squad to help us win matches.
“It is resolved he is still here, he is training with the group now, so it’s fine.

“It’s never a personal thing, always professional, my job is to do what’s best for the team and the club. It’s not about me or Nico, it’s about everyone.
“We’ve got a really good group now and a really good squad. I am so happy with it after the transfer window shut.”
The away support also mocked the Ibrox boss, with “there’s only one Russell Martin” being heard from the Hearts end.
Rangers find themselves in the bottom-six, and have a lot of ground to make up even at this early stage of the season.
