John Souttar has branded sacked Rangers boss Russell Martin’s style of play as ‘unique.’ 

Martin was fired by the Light Blues after a horrendous start to the season only managing to win five of his 17 games in charge and he left the club eighth in the Scottish Premiership table.

It’s been 12 days since the Englishman’s sacking and the Gers have still yet to find a replacement as under-19s coach Steven Smith is in charge for the clash against Dundee United tomorrow.

Speaking before the tomorrow’s all important fixture, the Scotland international broke his silence about Martin’s departure and believes the players do need to take responsibility:

“”Yes, the players have got to take responsibility.

“We’re the ones that take the pitch. Whatever manager is here, whatever manager is not here, the lads have got to take responsibility because there were games where we weren’t good enough – attacking defensively, on the ball, off the ball.”

The 29-year-old added that the players enjoyed Martin’s training sessions but just couldn’t translate it into results on matchday:

“I think everyone knows the results weren’t good enough.

“There were points where we showed a bit of promise and I thought it was a unique style of play.

“The boys enjoyed the training pitch but on the weekend or during the week we didn’t get the results we needed.”

Kevin Muscat looks set to become the Ibrox club’s new head coach but won’t be able to take charge until the Chinese Super League finishes on the 22nd of November.

The former Australian international currently has Shanghai Port top of the table as he looks to close in on a second successive title.
