Martin posed for a picture with Stefano, owner of Caffe Parma, a spot on Hyndland Road in Glasgow's west end.
He's seen sporting a summery outfit and shades as he enjoys the good weather.
The cafe posted the picture on Facebook and Instagram, clearly delighted to host Rangers' new boss.
They captioned the post: "Guess who popped by to soak up some sunshine and enjoy a few tasty nibbles on our terrace?
"None other than the new Rangers FC manager Russell Martin."
And Gers supporters were quick to comment as they got their first look at their new boss out and about.
One fan said: "Love it."
Another commented: "Great stuff, nice pic Stefano!"
A third said: "Great photo."
Martin has opened up in the past on his diet as a vegan.

The 39-year-old switched his diet back in 2014 after being diagnosed with ulcerative colitis.
He said: "I did some research into diet and what could help [the condition].
"But then when you become involved in that it raises your awareness of the ethical side.
"You actually look at it and think: 'This makes sense'."

Arne Engels gets honest over Celtic as 3 things stand out for record transfer as chapter one of journey comes to a close
Brendan Rodgers paid out the big bucks to land the Belgian as he brings reflects on his first campaign in the hoops Arne Engels has offered a honest assessment of his first year at Celtic. Brendan Rodgers shelled out last summer to land the Belgian for a club record fee from FC Augsburg on a four-year deal. He played a key role in the Hoops' double success as he lifted the Premiership and League Cup after hopes of a first season clean sweep were ended at Hampden by Aberdeen in the Scottish Cup Final and season finale. The campaign has also offered exposure in the Champions League and on the international scene after turning out for Belgium. It's not all been plain sailing for the midfielder, who has picked out three key things from his first season in Scotland. Sharing a video montage of some of his debut campaign highlights to his Instagram account, he wrote: "My first season at Celtic has been a journey filled with highs, lessons, and memories for life. "Whether we were at Paradise or away from home, I felt your energy every time we stepped on the pitch. "Thank you fans, see you all soon." Engels and his Parkhead team-mates will be aiming to complete the Treble next season and make another splash at Europe's top table. Rangers have entered a new era under the 49ers Enterprises following their takeover and Russell Martin is now in charge. The Hoops face a busy pre-season schedule including trips to Cork, Lisbon, Faro and Lake Como. They will also play games on home soil as they prepare for a return to domestic and Champions League action. Rodgers and his troops face a crucial qualifier in order to rubberstamp their ticket to the big time this time around. In previous campaigns they've enjoyed the luxury of direct entry, but they now face one hurdle to join Europe's heavyweights.

Key Rangers backroom figure departs for Liverpool role
White had been First Team Physical Performance and Reconditioning Coach at the Ibrox club since April 2024. He joined Rangers in 2021 before taking up a role as First Team Assistant Performance Coach in August 2023, after being initially brought in as a Sports Scientist in the academy. Read more: White has now joined Premier League champions Liverpool as First Team Physical Performance Coach. And he might not be the only man with a Rangers background at Anfield next season. Indeed, former Ibrox boss Giovanni van Bronckhorst is reportedly close to being appointed to a role in Arme Slot's backroom team. The Dutchman spent just under a year in charge of Rangers, leading the club he turned out for as a player to the 2022 Europa League final. Liverpool are now 'close' to appointing Van Bronckhorst to their backroom staff, claims The Athletic. He will replace his fellow countryman John Heitinga, who recently left Anfield to take on the role of head coach at Eredivisie outfit Ajax. Van Bronckhorst spent a brief spell in charge of Besiktas after leaving Rangers before taking up a role on UEFA's Executive Committee.

Former Rangers boss ‘close to joining Liverpool' ahead of Premier League title defence
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) A FORMER Rangers manager is close to joining Liverpool, according to reports. Anfield boss Arne Slot is preparing to reshuffle his coaching staff ahead of their Premier League title defence next season. Sign up for the Rangers newsletter Sign up 2 Arne Slot won the Premier League in his first season at Liverpool Credit: Getty John Heitinga is leaving to become the new head coach at Ajax. And it's being reported that ex-Gers manager Giovanni van Bronckhorst will replace him. The Times say van Bronckhorst is poised to become Slot's new assistant coach. Van Bronckhorst guided the Ibrox side to the Europa League final and a Scottish Cup victory in 2022. But he was sacked a few months later after a string of poor results in the Champions League and in the Scottish Premiership. The Dutchman remained out of work for a year-and-a-half before stepping back into the dugout with Turkish giants Besiktas last year. But he lasted just 20 games in charge, winning only ten and drawing four, losing six. The former Rangers, Arsenal and Barcelona star was replaced by Manchester United icon Ole Gunnar Solskjaer as at the Istanbul club. Van Bronckhorst remains a legend at Feyenoord, having played there in two spells and winning the Eredivisie as a manager. Slot and van Bronckhorst's stints in the dugout at Feyenoord led to similar successes. Moment Ally McCoist interrupts live radio to congratulate his 'wee pal' on signing for Rangers Van Bronckhorst won the league and two Dutch Cups over 176 games, with a win rate of 61 percent. Slot won the league once and the Dutch Cup once and amassed a win percentage of 65 percent, prior to his move to Liverpool. Van Bronckhorst, 50, was previously linked with a return to Feyenoord but they appointed Robin van Persie instead. He also turned down an approach from SC Heerenveen back in March. Liverpool are also on the verge of completing a blockbuster move for Florian Wirtz. The German superstar could be followed in the door at Anfield by PSG ace Bradley Barcola and Newcastle United talisman Alexander Isak in what would be a wild £300m summer spending spree. The Reds have already forked out £29.5m on Wirtz's Leverkusen team-mate, former Celtic defender Jeremie Frimpong. Bournemouth's 21-year-old left-back Milos Kerkez is also being eyed as a potential replacement for Scotland hero Andy Robertson. 2 Giovanni van Bronckhorst won the Scottish Cup with Rangers Credit: Getty Images - Getty Keep up to date with ALL the latest news and transfers at the Scottish Sun football page
