Martin admits Gers struggles

Lee Martin admits his performances for Rangers have been poor.

Manchester United winger Lee Martin admits his performances for Rangers have not been up to scratch.

The 19-year-old loanee arrived at The Gers with a prodigious reputation, but has so far failed to deliver on his promise.

Martin has struggled with injuries and a loss of form, and the player himself admits no one at Ibrox has seen the best of him.

"I feel a bit disappointed in terms of my performances," he said.

"I don't feel that I've shown my true capabilities. There's more to come from myself on the pitch.

"I'm quite hard on myself. I like to do well and, when I don't do well, I punish myself.

"I haven't been up to my usual standards, I know that, but it's going to take a bit of time.

"I've just come back from a six-week injury and, even though I'm feeling fit, I'm not match fit.

"That's going to take another couple of games but, after that, I won't have any excuses."

Despite shedding light on his plight, Martins revealed he could still extend his existing deal with The Gers which is due to expire in January.

"I'd like to (stay)," he said. "I'm quite happy here but it's not down to me at the end of the day. It's between both sets of managers."
