So Aasgaard scores 4 for Norway when allowed to do what he does best. This is either going to go one of 2 ways
1. RM will taken notice of our international players and how they perform and change his tactics
Or
2. He'll get Raskin, Aasgaard etc back and knock their international performances out of them and revert to pre Celtic tactics.
Unfortunately, I think it will be option 2.
If we fail to beat Hearts and Hibs, surely his time is up.
10 Sep 2025 07:24:02
He seems to relish ruining creativity from talented players, I'd rather he'd already been bagged tbh.
10 Sep 2025 07:31:31
Remember he has only played a few games for Rangers and a good few on here seen nothing in him, only after a couple of games, why folk should never judge any player after only seeing him play a few games, but it happens constantly on here or just in general.
10 Sep 2025 07:34:38
Expect the latter. Let's just hope he doesn't say to Martin how he liked to play or he'll be bombed out of the team altogether.
10 Sep 2025 08:01:20
We were also told it will take weeks to see the best of him and others in a Rangers jersey as they get used to the system.
3 full caps for Norway - 5 goals. Doesn't really fit the narrative.
A blind man going past on a high speed train can see that Martin is the problem.
10 Sep 2025 08:02:41
Got to agree with you MyStar. So many players over the years turned into flops because of a few performances. Reckon we could beat Moldova 3-2.
10 Sep 2025 08:06:29
Where did he play for Norway?
I know they've previously played him wide on the left to drift inside.
10 Sep 2025 08:18:15
Look I get it that fans dislike Martin but at least talk sense.
Aasgard scored 4 against the 174th ranked team in FIFA (out of 211). that is the equivalent of us playing Stirling Albion in Scotland. Norway played him is same position as Martin plays him for us. He came on when they were 6-0 up. fans have been saying he is crap for us and lower league English player. Now it is martin's fault.
I just hope Pep at Man City changes his tactics as Haaland scored 5 and assisted 2 ?
The Kazakhs are 114th which is the equivalent of us playing second top of league 1 with our first team squad.
Morocco were sitting 0-0 vs Niger (121st in rankings, bottom of league 1 equivalent) when a man was sent off and they lost 5-0; Igamane scored.
these games throw up these results because of the ranking system and everything isn't Russell Martin's fault.

Whilst I make a few posts. at Liege Raskin wasn't willing to sign a new contract but was still saying he wanted to stay despite having 6 months left on contract (wanted to leave on free at end ?) . His prerogative and have no real issue with that. However this led to his relationship with the manager breaking down and he was banished to b team for training. He then posted on social media criticising the club and the manager.
so this is the history he has which some were talking about yesterday as him having form for it.
it disrupts the team and him running around doing what he wants and not following instructions causes us to play badly. Manager needs to be obeyed whilst the club pays your wages. then if manager fails at leats he will have been responsible whereas at the moment the players play a huge part.
funny how last year it was Tav and Butland who were getting it for going to board about Clement but as Martin is disliked it is okay now for players to do this.
I give up.

Glad having you back Angus a man that makes sense.
10 Sep 2025 08:33:45
Angus, I did say days ago he had previous mate.
10 Sep 2025 08:50:17
Everything is Martin fault though Angus, even when none of us know the situation with the things goings on.
10 Sep 2025 08:53:40
Angus you still need to beat the teams you play against remember Queen's Park last year for us. Beating any team 11-1 is still impressive no matter who it's against mate.
Angus none of us know what's happened with Raskin so everything you're saying is a guess/ opinion also the same with what happened at his last club too.
So are the people that are siding with Raskin.
Fork he just seems to relish playing crap football and not creating chances as a manager.
Ps Angus good to see you back posting.
10 Sep 2025 08:54:02
Go back in to hiding???.
10 Sep 2025 09:07:48
Welcome back Angus, and straight back into its not Martin's fault ???.
10 Sep 2025 09:13:09
Loads on here have said he's not good enough, now he's scored 4 against maldova (still pretty impressive from the bench) but it's russell martins fault now? not that asgaard isn't good enough anymore?
looks like he came on last night as a central midfielder, did the people who say "that's what happens when you play him in his best position" actually watch the game or just see that he came on 6-0 up or whatever it was and scored 4 goals.
10 Sep 2025 09:41:16
Agreed Tav, everything is Martin fault even when it isn't mate, we all want him out, but this blaming him for everything is just entertainment.
10 Sep 2025 09:45:50
Star you want shot of Martin after 9 weeks but tell people not to judge a player after a few games. Do you actually read what you post? Do you not see how that's another contradiction? Angus its the managers tactics that cause us to play badly, its not Raskin's fault. Martin plays Aasgaard as a false 9 not as a midfielder.
10 Sep 2025 09:50:09
3 tap ins and a penalty to be fair, they all count though
Unless Martin wins all his future games i don't think he will turn it around in the eyes of most
Wasnt like it was a worldie freekick like our new LCB :)
10 Sep 2025 09:59:09
Who said Aasgaard is good enough? But early to tell? He got injured during pre season so boy needs a bit of slack.
10 Sep 2025 10:14:24
Raskins fault we are playing badly - Jesus wept, I've heard it all now.
Beat Panathinaikos 2-0, top performing midfielder.
Drew with Panathinikos 1-1, top performing midfileder.
Drew with Motherwell. 2nd best midfielder.
Sub for 3-0 win over Plzen. Outstanding when he came on.
Dropped for the dropped points against Dundee.
Best midfielder in the away loss to Plzen.
Started in loss at home to Brugges. Poor team performance and tactics.
Started in draw to St Mirren. Best player in a Rangers jersey.
Sub for the trashing from Brugges.
Dropped for the draw against Celtic when they were there for the taking.
Sometimes sabbaticals are for a reason?.
10 Sep 2025 10:17:47
I remember most people wanting a midfield 3 of Raskin, Cameron and Aasgaard. God knows what he's on about now.
10 Sep 2025 10:19:07
Yes because his football is terrible, the reason I want him out, but clearly the daft arse can't understand that.
10 Sep 2025 10:35:03
Jim that's the problem with him he never sees that he contradicts himself on the daily but has a go at others for it ?. I am glad he is ignoring me now makes me happy ?.
10 Sep 2025 10:51:29
Storm its like a parody, sometimes I think he must be at it because he can't be that daft but its 100% genuine. Its actually unbelievable.
10 Sep 2025 10:51:57
Jim lol.
10 Sep 2025 11:07:17
Let's not get carried away, Theo needs to do it for us consistently, then we can judge.
10 Sep 2025 11:20:42
Coldo you should hook up with him and speaks clueless chat together, would be a perfect couple for clueless chat man.
10 Sep 2025 14:10:44
Only one person being abusive on here again and it's not me Mystar ?♂️ you had the cheek to call me bitter as well ? grow up.
10 Sep 2025 14:53:12
Storm actually mine is a quote from Raskin from the press when he was unhappy with being dropped. so from the horse's mouth I think as they say.
10 Sep 2025 14:56:31
And not straight back into it isn't Martin's fault. just pointing out that it can't all be martin's fault. I remember last season when it was all Clement's fault; and the season before that when it was all Beale's fault; oh and the season before that when it was all GvB's fault. is that a trend?
but my opinion is different so straight back out again ?.
