The pressure on Rangers head coach Russell Martin is almost at breaking point after a toxic afternoon at Ibrox.
The 2-0 home defeat by Hearts on Saturday leaves Rangers sitting 10th in the Scottish Premiership table without a victory in their opening five league matches amid their worst start to a league campaign since 1978.
The chants calling for Martin to be sacked which reverberated around the stadium raises questions over how the 39-year-old can possibly survive in the job he inherited only three months ago.
While Rangers' new ownership group have given their backing to Martin in recent weeks, it is little wonder that bookmakers are drawing up a list of favourites for his replacement given the outrage among supporters.
