“I was never” the first option “, but the new Rangers coach, Martin, is sure he is able to beat the IBrox crowd

Russell Martin is confident that he was able to beat the skeptics who questioned his appointment as Rangers President.

Martin was named as a new club coach this morning in a three -year deal despite a lot of negative reaction from the club’s supporters when speculation began to link the 39 -year -old to pressure.

Martin was widely criticized for refusing to change his approach in Southampton despite a sad beginning for the last season he saw in December with the club’s bottom in the Premier League.

But he was in a bullish mood when he addressed the media this morning.

He said: “For the fans, I must win. I don’t think I was the first choice in any club I was. By the time we left every team I was, we have formed a real contact with the supporters. I hope this is the same.

“My career was all based on hard work and flexibility. It was not done on talent.”

I want the Rangers team gives everything – Martin

He added: “The supporters are the most important people in any football club.

“My mission is to give them a team they get to know and they are proud of it. A team wins.

“The team that will give everything. One thing is always ignored with our teams is that they always run more than possession, because they have to dominate the ball and be aggressive.

“It is not given, it’s a feature – you need hard work, and not everyone has it. We want people like this to come to the club.”

It is not related to elegance – Martin

Martin’s philosophy was throughout an administrative profession that also included talismans in MK Dons and Swansea was playing from behind – a approach that led to success and failure.

But it was quickly to emphasize that the most important aspect of his job is to instill work ethics that could help the club bridge the gap on Celtic.

He said: “It is not related to elegance, but rather a fixed level of application, desire and intensity, because things will change from a week to a week in terms of what we face.”

“What I want to see is the same mindset all the time because the game throws many variables after that.”

Everything about the awards – Martin

When asked what was a success in Glasgow, he said: “He wins the prizes.

“It is a culture that we are proud of and people can feel when they enter the building. An environment of hard work, honestly and profitable.

“To see a team that does not seem different every week, always tries to improve and develop in our own way, rather than focusing on the opposition a lot. We will do it on our way and we will all be on the same page.

“We have to improve the team on the field and improve the environment outside the field.”
