🚨 Breaking News: Ally McCoist Breaks Silence on Rangers’ Poor Form Under Russell Martin – Predicts Club’s Fate in League and Europe
Rangers legend Ally McCoist has spoken out following the team’s disappointing run of form under current manager Russell Martin, delivering a blunt assessment of the club’s struggles and their likely outcomes both in the Scottish Premiership and the UEFA Champions League.
McCoist’s Concerns
McCoist, who remains one of the most iconic figures in Rangers’ history, admitted he has been left frustrated by the team’s performances, particularly their inconsistency in big games. He warned that unless immediate improvements are made, the Ibrox side could find themselves falling short on all fronts.
> “It’s been really poor by Rangers standards,” McCoist told reporters. “The performances under Russell Martin just haven’t shown the level of fight or quality that a club like Rangers demands. Right now, I don’t see them challenging strongly for the league title, and in Europe, they look miles off where they should be.”
Prediction on Domestic Campaign
When asked about Rangers’ chances in the Scottish Premiership, McCoist was direct:
> “If things continue the way they are, Rangers will struggle to finish top. Celtic look far more consistent, and that gap could widen unless something drastic changes. At best, I think Rangers might be fighting for second place this season.”
Champions League Outlook
On Rangers’ chances in the Champions League, McCoist was equally realistic:
> “The Champions League is unforgiving. You can’t go into those games with this kind of disorganization and expect results. If Rangers don’t step up immediately, they’ll be out before they even find their rhythm. It could be another early exit, which would be a massive disappointment for the fans and the club.”
Fans’ Reaction
McCoist’s remarks have sparked debate among the Ibrox faithful. While some supporters agree with his harsh verdict, others believe Russell Martin deserves more time to implement his ideas. However, many fans fear history may repeat itself, with another season of missed opportunities both domestically and in Europe.
Pressure on Russell Martin
The comments add further pressure on Russell Martin, who has already come under heavy criticism after Rangers’ sluggish start to the campaign. With expectations sky-high at Ibrox, the manager faces a battle to win over fans and prove he is the right man to take Rangers forward.
