Raskin was bombed out of the squad for the last two Premiership fixtures, as the under-fire Martin stated that the midfielder has to gain the ‘trust’ of the players and staff at the football club. 

This week Martin and the squad visited Loch Lomond for a team bonding session, two days following their 2-0 loss to Hearts at Ibrox, which left the Light Blues 10th in the league.

It’s the Gers’ worst league start in 47 years and have only managed to win three of their last 12 games.

The Rangers faithful have given up on the Englishman with fan groups such as the Union Bears and the Rangers Fan Advisory Board demanding for his dismissal.

One person who knows the Belgian international well is former Rangers star and coach Billy Dodds, who was part of Barry Ferguson’s backroom team last season.

Speaking on Go Radio, Dodds said that Raskin is the type of player who will ask questions and test you, but believes that’s a positive thing:

“Raskin will test you football-wise. But if it gets personal, you sort him.

“He’s not bad, he’s a good lad.

“He just wants to question why you’re doing this football-wise, why you’re doing that football-wise and I don’t think there’s anything wrong with that.

“I’d prefer it if they just went okay and got on with it but we’re not all like that, we’re not all the same personalities.

“But he’s not a personal boy and this is where I’m a bit confused.

“If it is personal then no problem he’s out the team, and it does seem a bit personal between him and Russell Martin, and I think that’s where the problem lies.

“If it’s football, and you keep it football, and he’s testing you, then you keep him in the team because he’s your best player.”
