No love lost as angry Rangers fans are already running out of patience... that's the Russell Martin effect
After filleting his Rangers players following the atrociousness of their opening-day draw at Motherwell, Russell Martin later insisted the criticism came from 'a place of love'. In truth, it felt like a man having second thoughts about just how hard he went. When the Ibrox support decided to flip the script on Saturday night and make it clear what they think about him, there was absolutely no love lost at all. There are plenty of adjectives to describe what kind of place the old stadium did become when it looked like Dundee were going to return to Tayside with a surprise — yet thoroughly deserved — win, but they have nothing to do with love. They have everything to do with anger, disgust, contempt, frustration and disbelief. Make no mistake, Martin is a man with a major problem here. Two games into the league season or not. CEO Patrick Stewart and the club's US owners took a long, long time to appoint the former Swansea and Southampton boss and they'll want to give him a long, long time to implement the changes in style and culture he talks about. However, if the atmosphere at home games continues to turn like it did in this 1-1 draw against a team widely expected to be bottom-six fodder, no one is going to survive that longer-term. No matter how much the senior management are behind them. It was evident from the moment Martin arrived in June that he wasn't a popular pick. It's often hard to gauge exactly what supporters think of players and coaches these days, though. Internet zoomers colour the issue. Their high-octane rantings and ravings can create a false impression of what the body of the kirk actually feels. On Saturday's evidence, it looks like the zoomers, perhaps for the first time since the worldwide web was invented, didn't go far enough. It was wild inside Ibrox at times during long spells of that second half. It felt like end-of-days stuff, the way it was when the likes of Michael Beale or Philippe Clement or Giovanni van Bronckhorst were on their last legs, all hope lost and their pea-hearted players disappearing into their shells. With Dundee a goal in front from Ryan Astley's looping 51st-minute header, having already hit the post in the first half through Clark Robertson, a double substitution by Martin lit the touchpaper. Punters made it clear they were unhappy about Lyall Cameron, who had arguably been the liveliest Rangers player on the field, going off for Nico Raskin. When Kieran Dowell came on for Mohamed Diomande, though, the boos shook the foundations. Dowell is not going to make it at Rangers. He was shipped out on loan to Birmingham last term for a reason and it's a surprise he hasn't gone back there. Martin came out strongly to defend him after the final whistle, insisting he trains like a beast, is a good footballer, is liked around the club. Not amongst the support he isn't. They've had enough of him. As one colleague remarked when the dust had settled at the weekend, Dowell is a strange hill for Martin to die on. Max Aarons is becoming a problem too. It got to the stage where the on-loan Bournemouth man was being jeered every time he touched the ball. Replacing him with James Tavernier, shortly after Nasser Djiga had been sent off for denying Fin Robertson a goalscoring opportunity, was an act of mercy. That Tavernier needs to make way for a younger model is clear. It's just that Aarons isn't offering much to suggest he's the answer following his switch from the left to his preferred right-back beat. It's hard to know where to begin with the other stuff that had home fans pulling their hair out. Essentially, this game felt no different to so much of the substandard stuff they've spent the last four years or more watching. That it came in the wake of a splendid three-goal win over Viktoria Plzen in Champions League qualifying fitted the trend. Hyped-up for Europe, in hibernation for the Premiership. That's how Rangers have been for a while now and it looks like it's the way it might continue. Djeidi Gassama and Oliver Antman were unplayable against Plzen. Against Dundee, they could barely get given the ball. There was no zip, no tempo, no penetration, pointless possession, players failing to take risks, failing to do what it takes to beat the low block. Martin has his ideas on the style he wants to put in place, but he doesn't appear to have the depth of talent at his disposal to achieve that. Whether Rangers have the financial muscle required to buy individuals of that calibre is an issue too. It will certainly need crisp, precise passers of the ball. And that puts Jack Butland, John Souttar and others on notice. In these closing weeks of the window, it's clear a new keeper, left-back, centre-back and centre-forward will have to be bought. That will probably require some people being sold, but there's no sign yet of the 'player-trading model' cranking efficiently into life. It's just not good. The vibe around Rangers is not good. Yes, Tavernier got a point in time added-on with a penalty after Drey Wright had brought down Gassama and Cyriel Dessers, who was back to his normal self after a good display against Plzen, had a 97th-minute effort chalked off for offside. It's important to consider the chances Dundee had to win too. On 78 minutes and a goal up, Fin Robertson broke clear. The visitors were two against one inside the Rangers half. All it needed was a simple ball to play in Ashley Hay for the finish. Instead, Robertson dallied and Raskin put in a saving tackle. Then, at 1-1 in stoppage-time, Astley put the ball just over when being afforded a free header from a corner, another example of how poor this Rangers side are at defending set-pieces. Dundee, so good and disciplined for most of this match that their manager Steven Pressley said he could have cried for them, should have won. Just like Motherwell should have won the week before. One thing Martin has got right, though, is in predicting that Rangers fans will have to go through considerable pain in travelling this path towards enlightenment with him. Travelling out of Glasgow on a late-night bus on Saturday evening, a twentysomething Rangers fan, dressed only in team top and swimming shorts, four sheets to the wind, made for the personification of that, alone in his thoughts on the top deck. Following a vaguely comedic period of continually dropping his telephone on the floor, he spent the latter part of his journey quietly headbutting the window amid dark, incoherent mumblings. A Rangers-supporting friend was texted about it. 'That's the Russell Martin Effect,' he replied. Dearie me.

I look forward to playing with him – in fact I will play with him tomorrow if he could get on a plane,' Trump said in the call, shared on X by the DP World Tour. President Donald Trump FaceTimes to congratulate Grant Forrest after winning the Nexo Championship 🤳 #NexoChampionship | @realDonaldTrump — DP World Tour (@DPWorldTour) August 10, 2025 'What a round of golf. What three rounds of brilliant golf. It's a great honour you won, thank you very much.' Forrest, who lifted his maiden DP World Tour title at St Andrews four years and two days ago, took control of windy conditions over the weekend but saw his three-shot overnight advantage trimmed to two after Todd Clements' birdie on the opening hole. However, when Forrest birdied the fourth and Clements carded a triple-bogey eight at the same hole, the Scot led by five and never looked back. Advertisement The world number 294, who double-bogeyed the last, added two more birdies and a dropped shot in a closing 72 to finish with an eight-under-par total. A special win in front of his family ❤️ #NexoChampionship — DP World Tour (@DPWorldTour) August 10, 2025 'It's amazing, just speechless,' Forrest said. 'I think it is the same week as I won four years ago on the calendar so just amazing, that must say something about this week and being at home. 'I just can't believe it. It's been such a tough year on the golf course. It's just a crazy game that you can go and come out and do this, with what feels out of nowhere. 'It's just that old chestnut that one week can turn things around and it has.' Advertisement Joe Dean nervelessly parred the last to claim solo second at four under, with John Parry one shot further behind alongside Norway's Kristoffer Reitan and Denmark's Jacob Skov Olesen. Jordan Smith finished sixth at two under, while Clements, Andy Sullivan and Finland's Oliver Lindell were a further shot adrift – the only nine players to finish the tournament under par.

Celtic boss Brendan Rodgers reveals Kieran Tierney was SICK in Pittodrie dressing room as he delivers update on key star
BRENDAN Rodgers has revealed one of his key Celtic stars was SICK during the break against Aberdeen today. The Premiership title holders ran out 2-0 winners at Pittodrie, with Reo Hatate and new boy Benjamin Nygren scoring to exact revenge from the Scottish Cup final. 3 3 3 It was a routine run out for most of the Hoops players but Kieran Tierney was subbed off early in the second 45 after a dressing room illness incident. Manager Rodgers said after the game: "He did well to come out for the second half, he was sick at half time. "He was throwing up all over the changing room, thankfully I wasn't in there at the time! "He's come out, we've given him 15 minutes or so and then took him off but he's a top player. "He's only going to get fitter, stronger and better." It's not yet known what caused the sickness but the left-back is seemingly doing well. When asked what the problem was, Rodgers replied: "Not sure. Might be a wee bug of some sort, maybe something he's drank of some sort. "Thankfully he's OK now." Auston Trusty replaced the 28-year-old shortly after the visitors' second goal to see out the victory. That win takes Celtic four points clear at the top with Rangers taking just two points from the opening two league fixtures. I'm a Celtic-daft bride – I called off the big day but I still celebrated in my wedding dress at Parkhead Due to this, bookmakers Paddy Power have ALREADY paid out on bets for the Parkhead team to win the Premiership outright, declaring they've 'seen enough'. The Irish-based company often take aim at the Gers in social media gimmicks, and fan reaction has been mixed this time. One commented: 'Wee bit later than expected but congrats on the pay out troops.' Another said: 'Took a week longer than expected.' And a third added: 'Paddy Power know the script.' While a fourth laughed: 'Easiest bet you will do every year. Money back before the kids go back to school.' Another commented: "This is so embarrassing for Rangers," while one added: 'Rangers are terrible, they won't even get 2nd. Hibs or Hearts to finish behind Celtic.' And another noted: 'Scottish football, just an absolute waste of everyone's time and money.'
