RUSSELL MARTIN has spent his life trying to prove people wrong.
From growing up with an abusive dad, to being told he wasn’t good enough to become a pro.
But Martin squeezed every last drop of talent from his system to become a Premier League star and Scotland international.
Now he’s in the race to succeed Philippe Clement as Rangers boss.
There were question marks when Southampton appointed Martin in 2023 after relegation, and he was forced to sell £140million worth of players.
But last May he led them back to the Premier League via the play-offs.
Martin, 39, refused to change his playing style in the top flight, and was axed with Saints almost certainly heading back to the Championship in May.
His philosophy is all about possession and he won’t change it for any Plan B.
He said: “We judge players on two things — courage and aggression with the ball and without it.
“When people talk about the values of the team and philosophy, it’s to dominate the ball as much as you can, and when you don’t have it, you run really hard to get it back.
“It’s for me to feel it as much as they do, so when they make a mistake I don’t scream and shout. If it doesn’t work and I get sacked, at least I get sacked doing something I believe in.
“I am not driven by fear of losing my job.
“My fear is not giving players enough to enable them to give the best versions of themselves.”
The second youngest of four brothers, Martin grew up near Brighton.
Late father Dean was violent towards mum Kerry and he had stints in prison.
Through his dad, Martin qualified to play for Scotland and he won 29 caps.
Now vegan as he suffers from ulcerative colitis, he meditates, has studied Buddhism, and was a member of the Green Party before becoming disillusioned with politics.
Martin had an ice bath every day at Southampton, he uses a cryotherapy chamber near his home and swims in the sea at Hove all year round.
At the age of 30, he set up the Russell Martin Foundation to help local youngsters.

AN ELDERLY football fan was left lying in the mud with a broken hip and now faces months of recovery after crowd trouble at an SPFL match this weekend.
Mary Getty, 75, was taken to hospital after falling and breaking her femur in the midst of a rammy on her way back to a supporters’ bus.
Ms Getty, an Arbroath fan, was attending the match against Stenhousemuir at Ochilview on Saturday with her grandson, Allan.
A gang of around 50 youths reportedly charged at Red Lichties supporters after the conclusion of the game, which ended in a 2-0 win for the home side.
Ms Getty has had to undergo surgery, which she received on Sunday, and has been told it could take up to six months for a full recovery.
She admits the ordeal has put her off from going to away games in future.
Ms Getty told The Courier: “It was awful, just awful.
“We have been to lots of football matches and kids will be shouting at each other but this was awful.
“We left early to get to the bus as I can’t walk very fast and next thing I knew they were next to us – about 50 of them.
“One of the lassies spotted the bus and they all surged towards it and I fell and broke the biggest bone in my body.
“It was my femur but they class that as a broken hip.
“I fell into the mud and was lying in muck and waited a while for the ambulance to come.
“It was terrible. I will go back to my normal matches when I can as I love going to the football but I don’t think I will be back at away matches.
“Maybe if it is not a long journey I will.
“The doctors say it could take four to six months to heal but I will get back to it as I love the club.”
Ms Getty will remain in Forth Valley Royal for at least a week to begin her recovery.
Grandson Allan was right beside his gran when she fell and recalled hearing kids shouting and screaming and that they clearly wanted to cause a fuss.
He said: “I was standing beside her when it happened.
“We came out of the game and where our bus was parked we had to walk down a darker bit of road.
“When we turned onto the main road there were loads of kids shouting and screaming.
“We went to go down to the bus and heard them shout, ‘Let’s get the bus’.
“It was clear their intention was to cause bother to the Arbroath supporters on the bus.
“They then started running towards the bus and the momentum of it all made my gran fall.
“There was lots of bother at the bus too but we didn’t make it that far.
“I was just shocked, you don’t expect to go to a football match and for that to happen.
“We have been to countless games across Scotland and we are regulars on the bus and have never experienced something like that.
“She was scared, there were kids who were scared.
“It is something you don’t expect to see at that sort of game and in that sort of league.”
He also paid tribute to the locals who live next to the stadium and members of the supporters’ club who rushed to help.
“The neighbours brought out blankets for her and the people in the supporters’ club were out helping.
“Someone from the supporters’ club is actually going to visit her in the hospital.
“The man who organises the bus is a nurse and he stayed with us in the hospital, we were there until 5.30am the next day.
“She is always usually out and about and she’s never had any bother with her walking so we are hoping she recovers well.
“Going to games with my gran is always the highlight of my week.”
Inspector Neil Wotherspoon said on behalf of Police Scotland: “Around 7.35pm on Saturday, 22 February, we received a report of disorder involving a number of youths in the Tryst Road area, following the football match between Stenhousemuir and Arbroath.
“One woman was taken to hospital for treatment after falling nearby whilst avoiding the disturbance.
“It is particularly disappointing that such an incident took place following a fixture not known for disorder in the past. We take any football-related violence seriously and work is ongoing with the clubs and the local community to identify offenders and ensure they face consequences for their actions.”
SunSport has contacted both clubs for comment.

A GRANDAD died in agony after a piece of catheter was left stuck inside him for more than two years.
Dementia patient James Giles, 85, was ravaged by infections and suffered from sepsis after the medical tube snapped inside his urethra.
Shockingly, doctors and medical staff failed to spot the broken catheter which remained lodged inside him between 2021 and last April.
They eventually discovered the tube following a CT scan and removed it but James died three months later in July.
At the time of his death he weighed just five stone as a result of multiple infections which left him struggling to eat.
James’ devastated family have now received an apology from University Hospitals of Northamptonshire NHS Trust.
His grandson Aidan Giles, 33, said: “We were shocked and devastated when we found out.
“It was in his urethra and it was stuck in there and went to the edge of his bladder.
“He had one and it wasn’t in properly, then they put in another later. We know it wasn’t in properly and he started to hallucinate.
“My grandfather was bed-bound and his world was slowly going because of this stuck catheter.
“When he passed away I think he was about five stone, he’d lost 13 stone despite being six feet.”
The family has grave concerns about patient care at Northampton General Hospital.
There are numerous issues, but the most glaring is that doctors failed to remove the catheter fragment.
“We were told they didn’t believe the scan,” Aidan said.
“Instead, my grandfather was repeatedly given antibiotics to fight off a UTI when, in reality, the retained catheter was causing scarring, persistent infections, and at least one episode of sepsis.”
James who had a grandson and two great-grandchildren, was admitted to Northampton General Hospital in November 2021 after having trouble urinating.
His family say he became virtually immune to the effects of antibiotics and pushed for a full-body scan after being left puzzled by the repeated infections and weakened state.
But hospital staff allegedly refused the scan and instead opted to place him on end-of-life care, his family claim.
After a two-year battle a CT scan was finally carried out and the broken piece of catheter was discovered and removed in April last year.
Aidan added: “He was such a trooper but he must have been in a lot of pain.
“He had sepsis and they kept putting him on end-of-life care. They said because he was sleeping all the time he needed this palliative care.
“There was something in there and they didn’t do anything about it.
I have no doubts that him having it inside him brought him closer to death
Aidan Giles
“His kidneys were ruined because he couldn’t urinate properly. He had bed sores and sores and infections everywhere.
“We believe this could have been mitigated if they had taken this catheter out.
“He was struggling, he was struggling with pain and breathing. It wasn’t nice for him.
“He was basically immune to antibiotics. He was so frail. He couldn’t fight anymore.
“I have no doubts that him having it inside him brought him closer to death.”
The cause of death listed on James’ death certificate is old age and frailty, along with dementia, cardiac failure and diabetes.
An inquest into his death will take place in August.
Julie Hogg, Chief Nurse at University Hospitals of Northamptonshire NHS Trust, said: “I met with Mr Giles recently to offer my apologies for the care that his grandfather received and our poor communication with his family subsequently, we should have done better.
“We provide care for hundreds of thousands of patients each year and, while many experience good care, we know that unfortunately we don’t always get it right for everyone.
“We are absolutely committed to listening to our patients and making things better.”
SEPSIS is a life-threatening reaction to an infection that happens when your immune system overreacts and starts to damage your body's own tissues and organs.
Symptoms of sepsis in an adult include:
Symptoms in a child include:
They may not have all these symptoms.
If you think you or someone else has symptoms of sepsis, call 999 or go to A&E.

DUNNES Stores fans are scrambling to get their hands on a cute denim dress – but it’s selling out fast.
The Savida Denim Mini Dress is available in stores across the country.
The cute denim dress has short sleeves, a button down collar and two pockets.
Dunnes Stores chiefs said the denim dress is perfect for a “stylish night-out look”.
They said: “This shirt dress from Savida is crafted from a soft and durable cotton denim.
“Cut to a mini length, it is designed with a classic collar, a three button placket, and two patch pockets.
“Pair it with tights and boots for an effortlessly stylish night-out look. Savida is available exclusively at Dunnes Stores.”
Retailing at €40, it’s a dress you will keep reaching for again and again.
Style it with a belt and runners for a causal look or team with heeled boots and tights for a night out.
Shoppers will need to be quick as it appears to be flying out of stock online.
However, your size may still be available in your local store.
Fashion lover Zoe, who posts under @zoepalmerpalmer, took to TikTok to show off the dress.
She joked: “Dunnes stores can just take my money at this point.”
Zoe styled the dress with black tights, a black belt and boots.
She said: “I just feel for work or for the weekend, this is such a versatile dress.”
The TikToker said she was “very excited about this dress” and it’s a “class” look.
Another item selling out quickly is their famous Contour Leggings.
One shopper has taken to social media to share a look at the must-have leggings.
TikTok user Rhianna Bolton shared a video to the platform for her followers.
At the beginning of the clip, she can be seen holding up a large Dunnes Stores shopping bag.
Rhianna said: “I got my leggings from there yesterday — these were €15 and are contour leggings.
“They really really cinch you in, they’re so flattering and really soft. I really like them.”
She explained that the only thing she doesn’t like about them is the length at the ankles, adding that she just folds them up.
BETWEEN the weekly food shops and bargain fashion - Dunnes Stores is a staple retailer in Irish households.
But this wasn’t always the case, and when the initial branch of the shop opened its doors in 1944 it caused quite the stir
On March 31 of the year, Ben Dunne opened the first ever Dunnes Stores on St Patrick’s Street in Co Cork.
Locals quickly learned of the grand opening and flooded into the store in what the retailer’s archives recall as a “shopping frenzy.”
The bargain clothing on sale inside the new store at “pre-war prices” was one of the factors cited for the buzz.
During the chaos a window was forced in and Gardai were called to the scene.
Cops worked to deal with the eager crowds and keep shoppers calm and safe before they made it into the store for their first Dunnes experience.
Fast forward some 80 years, the business now employs over 18,000 people and although an opening of a Dunnes branch hasn’t caused quite as much stir since the very first one, it has cemented its place as one of the nation’s leading retailers.
Dunnes Stores now has 138 stores across Europe:
A TRAVELLER woman has shown off her nighttime reset routine and the secret ways she keeps her home looking brand new.
Adele Preece, from the UK, took to social media to show her extensive cleaning routine but people were left stunned by the extreme measures she took.
In the clip, the homemaker first got a bucket and filled it with hot water, bleach and fairy washing up liquid and said: “Nighttime reset clean for a gypsy.”
The 24-year-old also revealed that the kettle she used for cleaning was different to the one she makes drinks with.
“This kettle is actually the kettle that I use for my cleaning water,” Adele explained.
“I’ve got a different one to make coffees because I don’t want tap water in my coffee. I use only bottled.”
She first went in by spraying her hob with bleach and adding a glug of bleach to her air fryer tray to sit.
Adele also revealed that she refuses to have a bin in her chalet and prefers to use a bin bag as and when she needs it so she can throw it out immediately.
After cleaning her hob she then moved on to the oven itself which she dismantled every night to give it a thorough scrub.
She used a steam cleaner in hard to reach places as well as wiping it down with bleach.
“I’m going in with my favourite cleaning product, bleach,” she added. “And I just coat my oven with this because I just love it and I think it makes everything come up.”
She then filled up her bucket with fresh water and bleach before wiping down all of her condiments.
“You touch them while you’re eating, you’re getting grease on them, so you can’t just put them back in the cupboard,” the cleaning whizz explained.
Next, she moved on to her toaster, which she cleans out every time it’s used.
Adele added that she has two toasters – one for decoration and one to use.
“I have another toaster that I use just for making toast, cause I don’t wanna ruin my display toaster,” she explained.
Nomadic lifestyle: Traditionally, many travellers maintain a nomadic lifestyle, living in caravans and moving frequently. This mobility is a core aspect of their identity, reflecting a deep connection to freedom and independence.
Strong family bonds: Family is central to traveller culture. Extended families often live and travel together, providing a strong support network. Marriages and social events are significant community affairs, reinforcing familial ties.
Distinct Language: Many travellers speak Shelta, also known as Cant or Gammon, a distinct language that mixes elements of Irish, English, and other languages. This language serves as a cultural marker and a means of private communication within the community.
Religious practices: The traveller community often follows Roman Catholicism, with religious festivals and milestones like baptisms, communions, and weddings being particularly significant. However, individual beliefs and practices can vary widely.
Unique celebrations: Events such as horse fairs and traditional weddings are major social gatherings for travellers. These occasions are marked by elaborate preparations, vibrant attire, and communal participation.
The air fryer and toaster was then put away in the cupboard before she got another clean bucket of water and wiped down her countertops and kitchen island.
In another clip, she revealed that she keeps them looking brand new using plastic sheets from Dunelm to cover them.
The PVC sheets can be cut to size in stores and prices start at £3.50.
Once that task was done, Adele finished her kitchen reset by using her floor bucket and cleaning the floor on her hands and knees.
Her kitchen was sparkling and looked like it had never been touched when she was done with her cleaning routine.
The clip quickly went viral with over 536k views and 36k likes on her TikTok account @adele_preecex.
People were quick to comment and seemed divided by her lengthy routine.
Some were left stunned by the amount of bleach used and questioned how necessary it was while others were in awe of her clean home.
One person wrote: “Bleach leaves toxic chemical traces, never use it on items that food will be cooked or placed in.”
Another commented: “You do realise that boiling tap water filters the water and is the same as the pointless water bottles your buying because you just wanna be weird.”
“This is hilarious! Display toaster, two kettles, bottled water for tea (you do know boiled tap water is sterile), washing jars (if your hands are clean, there’s no need) and bleached oven,” penned a third.
Meanwhile a fourth said: “I don’t get the hate look at the beautiful condition of this lassies home. Everything looks completely brand new. Fair play gal.”
“I don’t really understand all the hateful comments. This lady has an impeccably clean house, we don’t all have the time to do this level of cleaning but no need to hate,” claimed a fifth.
Someone else added: “The commitment to the nighttime reset unreal.”

EVERY trainer is looking to make a Power play in this year’s Martin Pipe Handicap Hurdle.
The race, limited to conditional jockeys, has been won by the likes of Felix De Giles, JJ Slevin, Jonjo O’Neill Jr, Sean O’Keeffe and Danny Gilligan, just to name a few.
It’s crucial to have a top conditional on board and this year’s hot topic is Tiernan Power Roche.
The young gun has been making waves in Ireland and has won of four of his last nine rides.
That included a win on Great Attitude, who was gambled down from 200-1 to 8s in a quite remarkable sequence.
He’s clearly a jockey that trainers trust and he could be the one who gets the plum ride in the £75,000 race.
The ante-post favourite for this year’s race is Wodhooh for Gordon Elliott, who is 6-6 over hurdles and beat William Hill Hurdle winner Joyeuse and a host of other next-time-out winners.
JP McManus has a host of potential chances including Kopeck De Mee – A French import with a big reputation – McLaurey, who won at the Dublin Racing Festival, and No Ordinary Joe.
Roche is yet to have many rides for the big stables, but he has lots of experience to call upon which will be a big plus for any trainer.
With a maximum field of 24, it would be a huge surprise if Roche wasn’t on any horses, let alone one of the favourites.
