‘There was so much change’

Martin was the first head coach appointment of Rangers’ new owners last summer and oversaw a significant summer overhaul.

Since his departure, Rangers under Danny Rohl have climbed to third in the Premiership. The Ibrox side are a point below Celtic and three off leaders Hearts with eight games to go.

Martin suggested “less change so quickly” may have been a better approach and alluded to a lack of “cohesion” during his early period in charge.

“There was so much change,” reported the former MK Dons, Swansea City and Southampton boss.

“I walked in to the club at a time of new owners that had literally been in there two weeks when I came in. New director of football, chief exec, head of performance, new head coach, 14 new players.

“I tried to stress a lot that it probably would take some time so that’s my fault because I was in a place where historically and traditionally you don’t really have time.

“I’d have loved the time to have built something and I felt that was what the club needed. The owners decided differently and they made their decision.”

Former Peterborough defender Emmanuel Fernandez and on-loan Tottenham winger Mikey Moore were signed by Martin and have become regulars under Rohl, contributing regular goals.

“It’s no surprise to me that he’s gone on and done brilliantly,” Martin reported of “outrageous talent” Moore, 18.

“Take people like Mani Fernandez. Going from Peterborough in League One to Rangers and playing in front of that crowd all of a sudden and it’s a completely different experience.

“He’s been brilliant.”
