Aiming to issue an immediate statement, the 49ers reportedly competed to sign England International, a fan of a deal that could be worth £25 million for the Rangers this summer.
Russell Martin: Rangers need “new energy”
Beating the likes of Stephen Gerrard and David Ancelotti, Martin quickly became a top candidate for the Rangers, offering jobs to the former Southampton boss and ending the admin search. His first job since his failed Premier League at St. Mary’s, Martin is desperate to see his time in Scotland plan and finish with the ultimate success story.

He might be ideal for the Scottish premiership giant.
The new manager is also well aware of the scope of the tasks he has at hand, telling reporters after he puts the pen on paper to confirm its arrival. “The club needs new energy. We need a new start. It’s been a difficult time for the club and the Rangers fans over the years.” I think this brings a fresh energy.
“That’s the final product, and that’s what we all want. It’s a team that wins and wins in a certain way, and we all win in a culture and environment where we’re all really side by side and proud.”
With a new manager and a matching new owner, the Rangers will have a big summer first. The job at hand is to close the gap between Scottish Premiership champion and old company rival Celtic, but whether that will happen over the course of a year is a big question.
To do that, the 49ers reportedly aim to back up GERS in the transfer window with some necessary additions that could include Conor Coady and one other Premier League ace that Martin is well known to them.
The Rangers are now fighting to sign Ramsdale
According to Sports Boom, the 49ers raced this summer to sign Aaron Ramsdale’s Rangers. Martin is reportedly a fan of Shot Stopper following his work in Southampton, and will have the opportunity to reunite with England International if Ibrox people make the move.
However, transactions will not be cheaper. Ramsdale reportedly has a relegation release clause worth £25 million this summer, which has led to interest from things like West Ham United. Whether Martin’s praise will make a difference for Rangers remains to be seen.
The former Southampton boss was shy by praised the goalkeeper during his time at St. Mary’s, telling reporters after a rare victory over Everton. “For me, he is a perfect goalkeeper we are really fortunate and we have to enjoy it.
“He has a very high standard and I am happy with him, he holds a clean sheet and I think he is grateful for what we are trying to do.
Following Jack Butland’s difficult campaign, Ramsdale’s arrival will undoubtedly range with his hand for a major upgrade in the goalkeeping division ahead of a critical season.
