Alan Shearer reckons Russell Martin is finding out the hard way there is no such thing as time in Glasgow with the Rangers boss facing mutiny from his own supporters.

‌

Raging travelling fans told the under-fire boss to "get to f***" as his side were trounced 6-0 against Brugge and 9-1 on aggregate.

‌

Martin hasn't won a league game as Rangers manager and will fall nine points behind Celtic after only four games if their fierce rivals win at Ibrox.

‌

Record Sport revealed the former Southampton boss is going nowhere before the big one on Sunday but a section of the support have seen enough.

Shearer - perched in the commentary box at the Allianz Arena in February when the Premiership champions scared Bayern – also reckons Celtic haven't landed the quality Brendan Rodgers craves.

But it's the trials of tribulations of Martin and his broken Rangers team which caught the Newcastle

‌

Speaking to Betfair, Shearer said: "You can already hear the moans and groans from Rangers and Celtic fans for the way they've gone out of the Champions League. They're miles behind in terms of Champions League football.

"I heard Brendan Rodgers say he desperately needs additions to his squad, and they didn't get what they wanted so ultimately, you're not going to qualify into the biggest competition.

"I heard Russell Martin say that the standards at Rangers have been that bad for a while now that it needs change but when you go up to Glasgow, you realise that you haven't got time. As much as he'd love it, you're not going to get time and unless there's a quick fix and results change dramatically, we'll be talking about him and the likelihood of him losing his job.

"Everyone knows the rule of management, you're not going to get time whatever club you go into. If you don't see instant returns then, unless you're Ruben Amorim at Man United, you're not going to get time as much as you'd like it."
