Russell Martin makes Rangers vow as new boss delivers clear message to doubters

Martin was paraded inside the Blue Room today after being confirmed as Ibrox boss Russell Martin has vowed to win over his doubters and told Rangers fans: I'm here to win trophies. Martin, 39, was paraded at Ibrox on Thursday morning after penning a three-and-a-half-year deal to take charge. ‌ The former Southampton, Swansea and MK Dons boss convinced the club's new owners that he was the man to lead the revival. ‌ Rookie Italian coach Davide Ancelotti and former Gers boss Steven Gerrard were also in the frame but Martin was the Chosen One. Martin's long-awaited appointment has split punters who have vented concerns over the ex-Scotland and Rangers defender's credentials. But Martin - who led Southampton to Premier League promotion before being axed in December - has backed himself to make the Light Blues a force again. Asked if he's confident he can get critics onside, he said: "Yeah, I have to be. I have a lot to prove. My whole career has been based on proving people wrong, really. "At every level, I got questioned. There are always some names in football management that are always a bit more exciting than others, of course. "But I feel after five-and-a-half years of being a manager, coach, a leader - I love doing it. ‌ "And I'm going to be all in here, bringing my energy, my love for it and passion and hopefully that will reflect on the pitch and people will see that. "At some point, they'll enjoy it and hopefully I'm sure if our team is winning, they'll be happy." Sitting alongside chief executive Patrick Stewart and sporting director Kevin Thelwell, Martin added: "The supporters are the most important people at any football club. They'll be here long before and after any manager or coach. ‌ "So I think my job is to give them at team that they identify with and feel proud of. A team that wins and they go to a game knowing what to expect. "A team that's going to give everything, to run as hard as they possibly can. I think that's one thing that gets overlooked about the teams we managed. "They always ran the most out of possession, the most sprint distances, the most high-speed runs. They have to if they want to dominate the ball and be aggressive, so I think it's a given. ‌ "It's never a given actually, it's an attribute. You need to work hard and not everyone has that. So we want people that have that to come to the club. "I'm sat next to two people who work extremely hard and have a work ethic that matches my own. I'm excited about all of that. ‌ "And to the fans? Listen, I have to win. I don't think I've been the number one choice at any club I've been at. "At MK, from a player to become the manager was a bit of a surprise to supporters. To then go to Swansea, they lost in the play-off final, the budget's been cut and then we turned up from League One. "And then Southampton was the same. They had just been relegated from the Premier League, so I'm sure there were all sorts of names being mentioned with the job, and then I got it. ‌ "And by the time I've left every club I've been at, I've felt a real connection with the supporters. I've felt they've been really behind us. "Definitely the playing staff and the staff we've been working with wherever we've been, because of the relationships we've formed and maintained at every club we've been at. "And I hope this will be the same, I really do. And I hope people judge us and me in particular on this moment and not when I was a player here a while ago because it's very, very different. ‌ "I feel my whole playing career was based on hard work, resilience and trying to find a way myself. I'm even surprised at the playing career I had to play in the Premier League because if you said that when I was 18, I wouldn't have thought that. "But I feel my whole playing career was set up to become a coach and a manager. I always wanted to do that and I'm really grateful that I've ended up playing for as long as I did. "But I've always had a burning desire to do this from an early age and actually, my period here from before, was an incredible learning for me. "It helped me so much in my journey about culture, what to expect, about what's required. Listening to Jimmy Bell and Stevie the physio and listening to them talking about it, it just whetted my appetite even more. "So I learnt a lot when I was here and it's helped me prepare for it now."

Private jet airline offers 'mystery' European flights for £420pp

A private jet company is selling luxury flights from just £420pp - with just one small catch. Global aircraft charter specialists Chapman Freeman is offering mere mortals the chance to globetrot like an A-lister, as long as they don't mind not knowing where they're heading. The company's just-launched 'blind booking' service promises a luxury flight to and from a European destination for between four and six passengers on one of the airline's swanky fleet. Passengers pay from 3,000 euros, around £2,500, for a one-way journey on the plane, which works out at around £840 per person for a return journey, based on the full capacity of six people flying. While you can't dictate where your pilot flies you to, there are options to influence the trip, with passengers able to pick from themes including 'romance', 'outdoor action', 'city break', ' Germany exclusive' and 'sun and beach'. After filling out an online form, the company says its flight broker team will then check in with travellers on the same day with details of where's available for the bougie mile-high adventure. And there's a get-out clause too should you not fancy the destination you're jetting into - you can simply turn down the flight when offered. How will you fly? Planes in the company's fleet include the sleek Dassault Falcon 7X, the kind of jet you might spy on a Premier League footballer's Instagram account, which boasts a spacious interior, with white leather seats and picture windows. Passengers can recline on board the company's luxury fleet, which includes the Dassault Falcon 7X, during the flight to their destination, which they'll find out on booking Launching the service last month, the airline said: 'For blind booking customers, the appeal lies in the spontaneity and exclusivity. 'Chapman Freeborn offers an elevated travel experience without the complicated logistical overplanning, ideal for adventurers who want to let go and be surprised, but still expect luxury at every step.' The brand says it thinks the idea will entice travellers from the US to explore more of Europe, in style. The company said it hopes the concept appeals to those looking for something different. A spokesperson said: 'Inspired by the same wanderlust-driven mindset fueling the popularity of exploring and immersing in new cultures and destinations, Blind Booking gives travelers the chance to fly by private jet to a holiday retreat they won't learn about until right before takeoff.' It's not the first time an airline has offered passengers the chance to have the excitement of the unknown on a trip. Last year, Scandinavian Airlines launched a 'Destination Unknown' flight for members of its frequent flyer loyalty program. While there are no similar future trips in the pipeline for the Scandi airline, those interested can sign up for alert when the company reveals its next mystery trip. Private jet usage has soared in recent years, particularly in the US. Last month, founder of Star Jets International, Ricky Sitomer, told he has seen an increase in demand for journeys less than 300 miles rise by around 35 percent over the past three years. The airline owner said New York's super-rich are using private jets like taxis, with trips from Manhattan to relatively close vacation islands like Nantucket soaring. Sitomer's frequent short-haul flyers are 'celebrities, athletes, real estate people, and C-level executives', including hedge fund managers and crypto heavyweights. He said popular trips include 'helicopters and C-liners to the Hamptons, Nantucket, Martha's Vineyard and Toronto' and estimates that these kinds of trips have rocketed in demand by 35 percent over the past three years. Customers pay thousands of pounds per journey, with a jet for eight people from New York to Nantucket costing around $5,000 (£4,207) each way.
