Transcript

00:00Ben, another defeat for Russell Martin

00:04where exactly this leaves him now

00:06surely there's no way back for him

00:09you would imagine another terrible performance

00:14by all accounts at the weekend

00:16and on the back of it some kind of bizarre stuff

00:22obviously we know in his post-match press conference

00:25he was arguing with various fan media outlets

00:28around the lack of fight being shown from the team

00:35who appear to be struggling to buy into his ideas

00:39it's quite clear that crisis talks were held on Sunday evening

00:45on the back of that result

00:46and for the time being he still has the support

00:49of the club's American owners

00:52but on the back of that

00:56we had the news breaking on Monday

00:58that he decided to take a day off

01:01from training at Okenhowie

01:03and take his squad to Loch Lomond

01:07for a team bonding exercise

01:10that's been classed as

01:11where they ventured up Conic Hill on a hike

01:15and also took part in some cold water

01:18and swimming

01:18it's already kind of been met with a lot of backlash

01:24what was your take on it all?

01:28I mean he's in that situation now

01:30where I mean he just

01:31there's nothing he can do at the minute

01:34that is right

01:35if he had them in doing runs

01:37people would complain

01:38if he takes them up

01:39you know if he takes them bowling

01:40or paintballing

01:41the same thing

01:42so it just

01:43I mean just try

01:45and like keep things on the down

01:47you really need to

01:48in this situation

01:49you would imagine

01:49just put your head down

01:50do your normal stuff

01:52do some team bonding exercises

01:54in-house

01:55do something

01:56maybe don't

01:57because there was pictures of like

01:58I think it had originally started

02:00coming about

02:00with these sort of

02:01WhatsApp rumours

02:02there were some folks

02:02going up on social media

02:03going

02:04what's the full Rangers team

02:05doing in the middle

02:06of Loch Lomond

02:07and then sure enough

02:09the reports came out

02:09a few hours later

02:10that they had been in

02:12in the water

02:13which I mean

02:14in isolation

02:15it's a nothing story

02:17but in the middle of

02:19their tenth

02:19no wins in eight

02:21or their only win in eight

02:22has been against Aloa

02:23three wins in 12

02:25as a Rangers manager

02:27I mean

02:27it just looks

02:29everything just looks terrible

02:30at the minute

02:31again on Saturday

02:32just so bad

02:34Harts

02:35I think the

02:36the most damning thing

02:37about that

02:38is that listening to

02:38Harts fans reaction

02:39off the back of that

02:40is they said

02:41as much as it was

02:42their first win in a decade

02:43the shine's actually

02:44been taking off

02:44it a wee bit

02:45because Rangers

02:47were just so poor

02:47like

02:48it actually takes

02:50the shine off

02:50that

02:51you know

02:51usually going to

02:51Ibrox is such a big thing

02:53but

02:53I know it goes beyond

02:54Russell Martin's tenure

02:55but

02:56Hibbs

02:57Motherwell

02:58St Mirren

02:58Queen's Park

03:00just off the top of my head

03:01have all won there

03:02in this calendar year

03:03adding hearts to that

03:05so it's

03:07yeah I mean

03:08they are in

03:09they are in

03:10deep water

03:11I think

03:12in light of

03:13them going to

03:14to Loch Lomond

03:15and struggling

03:17to swim

03:18their way out of it

03:19I think it's galling

03:20that the fact that

03:21Hibbs are probably

03:21going into this weekend's

03:22Premier Sports Cup

03:23quarterfinal clash

03:24as favourites

03:25which is

03:27I mean

03:27they're

03:27I think they're

03:28sneaky form wise

03:29you know

03:30coming off the boil

03:31a wee bit

03:31but still

03:32probably

03:34fancy

03:35I would be more of a

03:35surprise to see

03:36Rangers win at this stage

03:37which is just

03:38a baffling thing to say

03:39considering the money

03:40that's been invested

03:41and

03:42the Union Bears

03:44now have released

03:44a statement

03:45demanding that both

03:46Russell Martin

03:47had interest

03:48in like Patrick Stewart

03:49for them to go

03:50sort of

03:51blame being laid

03:52at his door

03:52obviously

03:53part of the

03:54Clermont era

03:55to a certain degree

03:56as well

03:58and now

03:58overseeing

03:59this

03:59because it's only

04:01going one way

04:01he's going to go

04:02at some stage

04:03the 49ers are now

04:05I feel in a

04:05in a weird spot

04:07where if they

04:08sacked him now

04:08they could just

04:09hold their hands up

04:10and say

04:10look

04:11we've made an error

04:12it's not worked out

04:14despite the best efforts

04:15of everybody

04:15for whatever reason

04:17this just hasn't happened

04:18and we're just going to

04:18go our separate ways

04:19the more they drag

04:21this out

04:21the more culpable

04:23they make themselves

04:24and I mean

04:26Celtic are already

04:26nine points

04:27because the title race

04:28is done

04:28Celtic will win

04:29the league this season

04:29that's already done

04:31and we're in mid-September

04:33you could have said

04:33that a couple weeks

04:34ago as well

04:35probably

04:35I think you can

04:36officially say

04:37they're not going

04:37to make up

04:38nine points

04:38in Celtic

04:38over the course

04:39of the season

04:39so

04:41I mean

04:42it's pretty desperate

04:44and already

04:44you're talking about

04:45it being a season

04:46of transition

04:47you probably

04:47thought that

04:48would be the case

04:49but the fact

04:50that you're already

04:51in the middle of

04:52September

04:52and

04:54this season

04:55already feels like

04:56it's got a bit

04:56of a lost season

04:57and not only

04:58last season

04:59was a lost season

05:00but this season

05:02is threatening

05:03if this continues

05:04to be a potentially

05:05embarrassing season

05:06and

05:07it just can't

05:08we'll see you next time

05:10We'll see you next time
