Since his departure from Southampton, Martin has been linked with other teams, including Leicester City in the Championship, but it seems he will now join Rangers. The club's new sporting director, Kevin Thelwell, CEO Patrick Stewart, and the US owners, led by Andrew Cavenagh, are expected to finalize the deal with Martin. This news will likely be welcomed by Rangers fans, who are looking to challenge Celtic for the title next season.

Rangers have been working to strengthen their team, and the appointment of Martin is seen as a key step in their efforts to catch up with Celtic, who dominated the league last season. The confirmation of Martin's appointment and the completion of the 49ers Enterprises group's takeover of the club are expected to be announced soon.
