Jury instructs Rangers fans to get on the Russell Martin train as Celtic told Daizen Maeda transfer rules

ANDREW NEWPORT: They have to. Rangers have burned their way through manager after manager and the only way to stop that rinse-and-repeat cycle of sacking bosses is to back one. It will take patience - but Martin has to hold up his end of the bargain by showing progress.
