Watch Russell Martin's first Rangers press conference LIVE as new manager paraded at Ibrox

Russell Martin is the Chosen One and the new Rangers manager is set to face the press for the first time.

The ex-Southampton boss has put pen to paper on a three-year contract as he replaces Philippe Clement in the Ibrox hotseat.

Martin has been tasked with leading Gers into a new era as the Light Blues aim to end Celtic's stranglehold on Scottish football.

The 39-year-old - who spent six months on loan in Govan as a player - is poised to be unveiled in front of the press from 11:15am today.

Speaking to the club's website, he vowed to transform the trophy-starved club's fortunes and make supporters proud again.

Martin told the club's official website: "It is a privilege to be named Head Coach of Rangers Football Club at the beginning of this exciting new chapter.

"I know what this club demands. From my time here, I had a taste of how special this club is, the expectation, the passion and the history.

"Now, as I return, I’m determined to bring success back, for the supporters, the players, and everyone inside this club.

"I’m here to set standards, work hard and do my very best to earn the respect of the Rangers fans.

"There’s a lot to be done, but the goal is clear: win matches, win trophies, and give Rangers fans a team that they can be proud of. We want to play with bravery, to take the ball, to be aggressive, and to stand up in the big moments.

"Preparations for pre-season are already underway. I look forward to meeting the players and building a squad that our fans can believe in."
