FANTASTIC APPOINTMENT! Watch how Kris Boyd celebrated the appointment of Russell Martin in June- 124 days ago

Back in June Kris Boyd reacted with delight to the appointment of Russell Martin as manager- a fantastic appointment.

The Sky Sports expert has plenty of previous, whatever the decision is from inside Ibrox they can count on the loyal backing of their former striker.

From the moment that Fabrizio Romano revealed that Martin was the front runner to replace Phil Clement the support was on alert against the most WOKE manager in the UK.

He might have been a former player but as a vegan Buddhist Martin was the polar opposite to the support that has earned their club three UEFA sanctions for their racist activities.

Boyd disregarded all of that, he even compared the failed former Southampton boss to Vincent Kompany who had just won the Bundesliga for Bayern Munich.

Both are of similar ages but there the comparisons end. Kompany was a top level player not a journeyman, he had made a fist of keeping Burnley in the EPL while Martin was sacked with six points on the board at Southampton after 15 matches in charge.

If Vincent Kompany arrived at Rangers, then everybody would be absolutely delighted. Russell Martin has done the exact same as Vincent Kompany I think it’s a fantastic appointment for Rangers

I know there’s a lot of fans out there who are unhappy and they’ve got their concerns. I can understand that as well, but I think when you speak to people within football, Russell Martin is highly thought of.

When you look at the process that Rangers went through, they’ve obviously spoken to a lot of candidates and Russell Martin has come out on top.

He’s already been here as a player. He understands the pressures and demands that are put on him as a player, but as a manager, it’s going to be totally different.

He will have to deal with everything but I firmly believe that this is the right appointment for the Rangers Football Club and I think he’ll do really well.
