Insight emerges into the large sum Rangers are believed to have paid to remove Russell Martin.

Rangers have officially parted ways with Russell Martin following yet another disappointing result — a 1-1 draw against Falkirk on Sunday. The situation turned tense, with Martin reportedly needing a police escort to leave the stadium.

Club executives **Andrew Cavenagh** and **Paraag Marathe** have since released a statement acknowledging that Martin’s appointment was a mistake, confirming they’ll take a more active role in selecting his successor. Director of Football **Kevin Thelwell** is already in discussions with potential candidates to take over at Ibrox.

However, before any new manager arrives, Rangers will need to deal with a significant financial hit. Speaking exclusively to *Ibrox News*, football finance expert **Dan Plumley** estimated the cost of Martin’s dismissal could reach into the **low single-digit millions**.

> “It’s going to be in the region of low single-digit millions, you would say,” Plumley explained, noting that the payout could add to the club’s mounting expenses this season.
