Nicolas Raskin's Rangers future in doubt after manager interview

Nicolas Raskin's Rangers future has been thrown into doubt after an interview with Russell Martin last night.

The under pressure head coach spoke to the media a short while after his side's 6-0 defeat to Club Brugge on the night, which saw the Belgians progress to the league phase of the Champions League with a 9-1 aggregate win.

Raskin was on the bench yet again for the Scottish Premiership giants. Team news leaked in the afternoon suggested as much.

The midfielder was subbed on to play a part in the game, but Martin's tendency to leave Raskin out has raised obvious questions as to whether he will remain at Ibrox before Monday's transfer deadline or not.

When asked whether the 24-year-old could potentially be sold, Martin revealed there's uncertainty surrounding surrounding more than just Raskin.

He said: “Yeah, I think there are a few of the guys that there's a bit of uncertainty around at the moment.

“And it’s really hard to build a team around people we're not convinced or not fully sure will be here.

“I’m really proud of Tav tonight, the way he came on. It's been disappointing for him not to play but he showed real leadership tonight, during the game and after the game.

“He's desperate to do well for this club and for us. I felt that after the game and I felt that during it.

“He, more than anyone, has a right to be disappointed and frustrated at the moment.

“I think now we're going to need leadership for sure, throughout the whole group.

“And nothing I say now will make anyone feel any better or change anyone's opinion.

“Now it's about Sunday and making sure that we respond in that way, by putting in a performance the fans can be proud of and that makes us win the game.”
