Former Celtic striker Cillian Sheridan says Rangers find themselves in a “strange situation” after fans hurled abuse at head coach Russell Martin straight after scoring a last-minute winner.

Substitute Max Aarons found the net in the 94th minute to secure the Ibrox side’s first Premiership win of the season against newly-promoted Livingston.

Despite the victory, Rangers supporters remain deeply frustrated by the start to the season and unconvinced by Martin’s management.

“It’s a probably a weird feeling for a lot of fans, where they’re going to games and even scoring a winner and the first thing they’re doing is shouting at the manager,” Sheridan told the BBC’s Scottish Football Podcast.

“You score a last-minute winner, everyone’s cheering and celebrating, then suddenly realising that this means he [Martin] has bought himself more time.

“I feel fans are going to games half hoping to lose so there is heaps more pressure and the board ends up having no other option.

“It’s a strange situation looking in from the outside.”
