Rangers midfielder Nicolas Raskin was on the scoresheet for Belgium on Saturday.

His country played out their final World Cup warm-up friendly in Brussels, putting five past 10-man Tunisia without reply.

After Leandro Trossard, Charles De Ketelaere, Kevin De Bruyne, and Dodi Lukebakio all hit the back of the net, Raskin rounded off the scoring with three minutes to play.

The 25-year-old, who replaced De Bruyne in the closing stages, smartly swept the ball into the bottom-left corner after it fell to him kindly on the edge of the penalty area.

It was Raskin's second goal in 13 senior international appearances.

Raskin was named in Belgium's 26-man squad for this summer's World Cup alongside midfielders like Napoli's De Bruyne, and Aston Villa pair Amadou Onana and Youri Tielemans.

Rudi Garcia's side are in Group G at the tournament.
