MARTIN FACING HIS HIGH NOON

ANOTHER day, another ordeal for Russell Martin.

- 

If Rangers drop points against St Mirren in Paisley it will send the head coach's personal approval rating plummeting to new depths of disdain.

Unless, of course, Tuesday night's going over by Club Brugge in the Champions League hasn't already embedded Martin's reputation at Ground Zero.

The rhythm of life in Glasgow has been disrupted by the Old Firm's start to the season and Martin is one of the casualties.

Historically, Celtic being in the ascendancy meant Rangers were toiling, or vice versa.

Now one set of fans can't laugh at the other one's misery because both are in a simultaneous state of disrepair.

One lot wants the manager removed, the other lot wants their club's board sacked.

The supporters' equilibrium has been shot to pieces.
