Joe Rothwell is poised to join his former manager, Russell Martin, at Rangers. Rothwell, who spent last season on loan at Leeds United from Bournemouth, is transferring to Rangers on a permanent basis. The 30-year-old had previously collaborated with Martin during a loan period at Southampton, where he was notably impressed by Martin's personal approach, including a significant gesture before a Championship play-off final. Rothwell conveyed his admiration for Russell Martin and his eagerness to work with him once more. He also conveyed his ambition to play for the Scotland national team, for which he qualifies through his Scottish grandmother, and views his move to Ibrox as a step towards achieving that international aspiration.
