McManus: Raskin not irreplaceable, eyes move abroad

Nicolas Raskin's tenure at Rangers is facing scrutiny, with former player Tam McManus suggesting the midfielder is eyeing a departure to a different league. Raskin's season has been marked by inconsistency, including being initially excluded from the squad before regaining his place. Despite interest from English clubs like Crystal Palace and Wolves in November, Raskin remained at Ibrox. Although now a key figure under manager Danny Rohl, questions persist about his long-term commitment to the club, particularly regarding a potential contract extension.

McManus conveyed that while Raskin has earned significant support from the Rangers fanbase, he doesn't foresee the Belgian staying at the club indefinitely. He noted Raskin's positive performances, including a notable goal against Motherwell and a strong showing against Hearts, which had boosted sentiment. However, McManus cautioned that any new contract should strictly benefit the club. He also opined that Raskin, while a capable player, is not indispensable to the team's setup. This perspective echoes sentiments previously shared by former Rangers player Gordon Dalziel, who also suggested Raskin could be sold for the right price.
