Brendan Rodgers' Impact on Ibrox Managers
Will Brendan Rodgers add one more Ibrox manager's head to his collection before he finally departs Celtic?
Brendan Rodgers has just added another Ibrox manager’s head to his collection after the departure of Russell Martin. However, it's unlikely he had a significant hand in Russell Martin’s demise, as their teams only had a nil-all draw.
He did, after all, only partake in a nil-all draw with the former Ibrox manager.
In reality, Martin’s departure was likely expedited by those who were supposed to back him and his team. He never stood a chance from day one, and it's clear that external factors played a significant role in his departure.
Although Brendan Rodgers may not claim responsibility for Martin's departure, he could still influence the next Ibrox manager’s fate. It would be his parting gift, in a way.
Initially, Russell Martin seemed pretty thick-skinned, but ultimately, he was unable to withstand the pressure.
