Football management in an age of rage

After Russell Martin's sacking as Rangers manager, Martin Geissler and Natalie Higgins hear what’s behind the rage from the terraces.

Russell Martin (pictured left) was escorted from the stadium following his final game as Rangers manager while Steve Clarke (pictured right) has been criticised despite guiding Scotland to the brink of World Cup qualification.

We ask former national team boss Craig Levein and the ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½â€™s Chris McLaughlin why so many football fans have become so angry.

And Martin is unnerved by a stark comparison to Alan Partridge.

Scotcast is the ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½â€™s Scottish news podcast, with Martin Geissler, Laura Miller and Natalie Higgins.
