Nicolas Raskin spoke to media after Belgium game: "My situation at Rangers is delicate, How? Different reasons, You have the club's side, the player's side. I'll do my best to turn the situation around, I've already had good times there and I have good relations with the fans. Do I want to be transferred in the coming days? No, that's not the intention I want to reclaim my spot in the Rangers' starting 11.

Pity Raskin and our team is being hindered by an idiot.

He should be one of the first names on the team sheet.
09 Sep 2025 11:23:36
Surely the 49rs can see RM is a liability and needs removing before he makes things any worse than he has already done.
09 Sep 2025 11:33:50
Should be building the team around him and made captain.
We have a midfielder starting for the 8th best team in the World!
09 Sep 2025 11:47:10
Amazing to see that because so many hate Russell Martin as our head coach that it's all his fault and Raskin has done no wrong in this situation.
09 Sep 2025 11:59:21
I can't believe the powers that be haven't taken action during this break to remedy the situation. Can RM beat hearts at home then hibs away? I'm having my doubts.
09 Sep 2025 12:32:31
Don't be sucked in by players talking crap trying to keep the fans onside in this battle he's having with Martin if a decent offer comes in for tasking he'll be off and that's the reality but let's see if he knuckles down and shows the determination to win for our club and help get us back to where we all want to be let's see him do his taking on the training pitch and the park so that it'll be impossible for he to be left out.
09 Sep 2025 13:15:44
Correct Scott, without knowing the full situation.
09 Sep 2025 13:28:05
The fact is no player or manager is bigger than the club, but a major factor if managed correctly, new contract, sell at appropriate time ( say after World Cup) raskin could potentially be our biggest sale ever, which can only build the team meanwhile Martin will only cost us to pay him off and that's coming soon.
09 Sep 2025 13:31:23
Raskin didn't get his move in the summer so obviously he's going to say what he thinks the fans want to hear.
09 Sep 2025 14:05:50
And u know this for a fact do u?.
09 Sep 2025 14:56:00
I get the impression that the longer Martin stays, the more trouble he's going to cause with players.
09 Sep 2025 15:27:09
I sure Raskins has his faults, show me someone who doesn't
But Martin seems to have used him to try and show his authority.
As people say no one bigger than club, only problem with that is Martin thinks he is.
Can only see trouble ahead with him as coach.
09 Sep 2025 15:51:00
Scott he's probably asking why he's been played out of position for Joe bloggs, would you not be pissed? Gazza was hard to handle as well should we not have played him either. There's difficult players at every club in world, it's finding a way to harness it and get the best out them, that's what good managers do.
09 Sep 2025 15:51:56
Stig
Thought his latest very positive and he really ready for fight. Apparently had one to one RM and bang ready. Seems RM did something right.
09 Sep 2025 16:26:14
Fork that's correct all our opinions are wrong but theirs are right ?
I would question a manager if I was getting played out of position or he wanted me to play a style that won't work it's his reputation on the line the same as the manager. I ain't saying Martin is all to blame for this situation because he is not but Martin can do one as the majority don't want him because he is a clown.
09 Sep 2025 16:45:10
Has Raskin signed a new contract? P.
09 Sep 2025 16:48:12
Hit send early. Has Raskin signed a new contract? Pretty sure 90% on here were saying sign a contract or he needs to be sold. So if he doesn't sign before Jan does he have to go wether RM still in tge job or not?
09 Sep 2025 16:50:10
BB, that's the biggest problem for me. Fans acting like Raskin is Gazza. Raskin has literally been good for 8 months of his 2 and a half years contract with us. He is a good player, who has won next to nothing with us, but nothing special.
I wanted him sold in summer because he will want to run his contract down like he done previously. He also has a history of being a problem player while doing so. This has Kent/ Morelos situation written all over it. Where he tries when he wants whilst becoming a free agent.
I understand fans hate RM and would probably take anyone's side over him but this is definitely a Raskin issue for me. It's in best interests of the club to get rid of him in January if we can.
09 Sep 2025 18:38:03
I don't believe we will let him run down his contract, he would be sold next summer whatever, only thing would be a diminished price if no new contract signed.
09 Sep 2025 20:45:57
Tommy tell us what his history is to being a problem?
09 Sep 2025 20:46:34
Penrith 2027 he is out of contract.
09 Sep 2025 20:57:32
Azul - we play both Hearts and Hibs at home.
09 Sep 2025 20:58:01
Have a look at that statement, " we are wrong and they're right "
then ask yourself if it works the other way round
then ask yourself if it makes any sense whatsoever, of course " they think they are right, or they wouldn't post it.
09 Sep 2025 21:25:13
It's called an opinion it's not right or wrong TT ?.
09 Sep 2025 21:26:42
When we signed him on the cheap he was not playing for liege with his contract running down if I remember correctly. Barry Ferguson and the rest of the guys with him have hardly stopped talking about his attitude.
The break between them is because he is not following instructions and doing what he wants on the park. You cannot have that in good teams and that has been part of the problem we have had with a number of managers.
I like how it's been handled apart from it should all have been in house. Our players have needed to understand the standards we require at the club for a while. An example of our best player is a good way to do that.
Been too many soft performances from our players and while tactics and coaching can be an issue it does not stop you winning your personal battles. That's not happening enough and I like a manager laying down the law occasionally.
