Nico Raskin breaks his silence on his Rangers future as he vows to fight for a place in Russell Martin’s team.
It’s been a rocky start to the season at Ibrox for Raskin as he was bombed out of the squad for the Light Blues’ Old Firm clash.
The 24-year-old wasn’t training with the first team before the derby but the Rangers boss has denied there has been a breakdown in their relationship.
The midfielder was able to put his issues at the Govan club behind him, as he scored his first goal for Belgium in their 6-0 victory against Kazakhstan.
Raskin is set for showdown talks with Martin and Sporting Director Kevin Thelwell after the international break.
The former Standard Liege man told Belgian media outlet Voetbalkrant that his situation at the Ibrox club is complicated but doesn’t want to leave anytime soon:
“My situation at the club is complicated. I will return, work hard, and try to get playing time again.
“But it’s not just up to me. I know this is an important year, and I absolutely want to be part of this campaign with Belgium.
“Football is simply a game of ups and downs. I absolutely love Rangers.
“I’ve had some great moments there and have a strong bond with the fans. I always try to give my all.
“A transfer? No, that’s out of the question. I want to continue to resolve this at the club.”
Martin’s side have a huge week ahead of them, as they have an all important league fixture coming up against Hearts at Ibrox as they seek to get their first league win of the season.
