Kris Boyd says he would choose Sean Dyche to replace Russell Martin as Rangers manager

Rangers manager Russell Martin is under increasing pressure after a 2-0 defeat to Hearts last Saturday, and the fans want him gone.

The Ibrox club are without a win in five Scottish Premiership games this season, with four draws and a defeat to their name.

They are back in action on Saturday when they host Hibernian in the quarter-final of the Scottish League Cup, and a defeat could end Martin’s three-month reign.

Rangers fans are convinced Martin will not last long, and Kris Boyd wants Sean Dyche to replace him, citing his ‘strong character’ as what the club needs.

Dyche brings plenty of experience to the table, having managed 332 Premier League games across his spells with Burnley and Everton.

The former Watford boss has overseen a total of 558 games since becoming a manager in 2011, and he has the skills to make Rangers a stronger team.

Dyche has only won just over one-third of his games as a manager, but he would fancy his chances of improving Rangers.

He could be holding out for a Premier League job as his name is expected to be on the wishlist of clubs that could look to make changes in the dugout in the coming weeks.

However, the opportunity to manage in Europe could be very appealing to him if Rangers come calling.

They begin their Europa League campaign next Thursday with a home game against Genk, and Martin must guide them to victory to boost his chances of holding on to his job.
