Martin, 39, was dismissed by Rangers on Sunday<\/a> just hours after his side drew 1-1 at Falkirk<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The decision came after scenes that saw the former Scotland<\/a> international sneaked out of the Falkirk Stadium by a side door and into a car after raging Gers fans blocked the team bus from leaving.<\/p>\n

Martin\u2019s axe came after just 123 days in charge, making him the shortest-serving permanent boss in the club\u2019s history.<\/p>\n

He also won just five of his 17 matches in charge, with only one victory from seven league games.<\/p>\n

On Tuesday, Martin was spotted at Loch Lomond with ex-glamour model partner Lucy, 41.<\/p>\n

The ex-Gers coach took a dip in the water, just weeks after he caused a stir by taking his underperforming players to the very same location for a bit of wild swimming and a hike up Conic Hill<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Now, fresh images of Martin have emerged in the wake of his Ibrox sacking.<\/p>\n

Girlfriend Lucy shared a couple of images showing the former defender looking relaxed and in a carefree mood despite the dramatic events of recent days.<\/p>\n

In the first image, Martin has a smile on his face.<\/p>\n

The second picture shared to Lucy\u2019s Instagram<\/a> story \u2013 where she has more than 217,000 followers \u2013 shows the former boss pouting for the camera.<\/p>\n

She also shared the pic with a love heart emoji.<\/p>\n

It isn\u2019t exactly clear when or where the pictures of Martin were taken.<\/p>\n

With the international break now underway, Rangers<\/a> chiefs have a little bit of time to gather their thoughts before deciding on a successor.<\/p>\n

Former Gers boss Steven Gerrard<\/a> quickly emerged as the favourite for the role and he\u2019s now ODDS-ON to make a remarkable return to the dugout at Ibrox<\/a>.<\/p>\n

And the club look set to open talks with Gerrard, 45, THIS WEEK<\/a> according to reports.<\/p>\n

The Liverpool<\/a> and England<\/a> legend appeared on the Rio Ferdinand Presents podcast<\/a> earlier this week with his former international teammate.<\/p>\n

In the interview, Gerrard revealed he had \u201cunfinished business\u201d as far as his managerial career goes.<\/p>\n

He previously managed Rangers between 2018 and 2021, leading the Light Blues to a first league title in a decade.<\/p>\n
