Union Bears demand Rangers axe Russell Martin and Patrick Stewart as fan group issue protests warning

The leading fan group issued a late night statement to warn a series of actions have been planned and will be made known

The Union Bears have demanded the immediate removal of Rangers pair Russell Martin and Patrick Stewart.

The leading fan group have also warned that protest actions have already been planned and they will be made known to the wider supporter base if no action is taken before Saturday's clash with Hibs.

The Light Blues crashed to a 2-0 home defeat to Hearts at the weekend that meant they are now winless in five Scottish Premiership matches and sit TENTH in the league table.

Fans vented their fury at the Rangers boss during the Ibrox clash and have been making their feelings loud and clear both online and in the stadium over the current regime in the dugout.

In a hard-hitting online statement, the fan group said: "The Union Bears stand will fellow fan groups and the wider support in demanding the immediate removal of the Rangers management team and CEO.

"Russell Martin has shown beyond doubt that he is not capable of leading Rangers Football Club.

"The performances under his management are a disgrace to the standards this club was built on.

"Rangers cannot afford constant upheaval, but in Martin's case there can be no debate.

"His failure is absolute, and he must be removed for his duties immediately.

"Patrick Stewart has been quick to criticise supporters, yet has refused to take responsibility for his own catastrophic decision.

"As CEO, the appointment of Russell Martin lies entirely with him. This failure proves he is unfit to lead Rangers. His position is untenable, and he must be held accountable.

"The new owners must act quickly and decisively. If they do not, they will leave the support with no option but to act.

"Rangers must have a management team and a squad capable of delivering success worthy of our history and our support.

"A series of protest actions have already been planned, beginning with Saturday's match. Unless changes are made before then, these actions will be made known to the wider support."
