Published: 9/25/2025

Martin's tactical shift under pressure at Ibrox sees a move away from his usual philosophy, opting for a more defensively solid 4-2-3-1 formation. With a focus on positional discipline and a reluctance to commit players forward, Rangers' possession and attacking prowess have taken a hit, resulting in fewer shots per game. These changes aim to solidify the team defensively but have impacted their attacking effectiveness since reverting to a more pragmatic approach.
