Russell Martin, considered a future managerial talent, is in the running for the Rangers head coach position. Following a difficult stint at Norwich City and a brief time at Southampton, where he emphasized a possession-based approach, Martin aims to apply his methodology at Rangers. Despite his style being praised by figures like Pep Guardiola, his previous teams struggled to convert possession into wins. Martin's commitment to his principles underscores his philosophy, but the question remains whether this approach can succeed at a club expected to dominate domestically.
Under Martin, MK Dons set a British record with a goal scored from a 56-pass move in March 2021.

His methodology ultimately backfired with a squad lacking in Premier League experience and Martin was jettisoned.
Delia Smith praised Russell Martin as an all-round lovely person and very talented, indicating confidence in his future success as a manager.
