00:00Hello from the Falkirk Stadium where Rangers have suffered another major setback under Russell

00:07Martin. Being held to a 1-1 draw here by John McGlynn's Falkirk side who more than deserved

00:13their point and could have even won the game. They had the best chances in this match but

00:17much of the talking points will be surrounding what happened afterwards. Chance for Russell

00:23Martin to go by the Rangers fans were to be expected at full time but the scenes in the

00:27car park afterwards were making headlines with a group of Rangers supporters congregating around

00:34the Rangers team bus in an attempt to prevent it from departing the stadium. A sit-down protest

00:41around the team bus with police with truncheons, police on horseback required to disperse that

00:47crowd and allow the team bus to depart and Russell Martin also exiting the stadium through a side

00:53door with the help of security just to avoid the angry crowds. Whether Russell Martin can survive

01:01this latest setback he's had the support of the the Rangers owners throughout this difficult start

01:06to his tenure. The worst start Rangers have made to a season in 47 years but whether that will continue

01:12over this international break now remains to be seen. They did take the lead in the match Bojan Miofsky,

01:19probably the only piece of quality Rangers produced in the game. Derek Cornelius fantastic teasing

01:24lacrosse into the box. Miofsky tapping home from six yards but Falkirk were always looking likely to

01:30get something from this game and they did deservedly with substitute Henry Cartwright smacking the ball home

01:36from 20 yards via slight deflection from John Suter. The 7,000 or so home fans absolutely delighted with

01:43their team's performance as was John McGlynn described it as his team's best performance of the season so far.

01:48But for Russell Martin it's just more questions than answers once again but he has vowed that he will

01:54not resign he will fight on and try to turn this this Rangers season around.
