RANGERS will not make a move to appoint former Ibrox defender Russell Martin as Steven Gerrard's successor as manager.
Martin has been linked with a potential return to Glasgow as the champions step up their hunt for the next Light Blues boss.
Gerrard is poised to complete his switch to Aston Villa within the next 48 hours as assistant Gary McAllister and staff Michael Beale, Tom Culshaw and Jordan Milsom also get set to head to the Midlands.
Rangers were credited with an interest in Martin on Wednesday evening but the former Scotland stopper is not on the list of targets drawn up by Ross Wilson.
Martin moved to Swansea in the summer after starting his managerial career with MK Dons.
And he will not be making the move to Ibrox and rejoining the club where he spent time on loan in 2018.
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
