Nicolas Raskin is "really happy" at Rangers but remains unsure about what the future holds for him. The 25-year-old midfielder, who signed from Standard Liege in January 2023, was widely expected to move on after being part of the Belgium side that reached the quarter-final of the 2026 World Cup, where they were knocked out by eventual winners Spain.
After missing a few games amid speculation about his future, Raskin has become a mainstay in Derek Mc Innes' side. Asked whether he had expected to leave in the summer, he said that as an ambitious player he wanted to keep going higher, and had considered seeking a new challenge after the World Cup. "But like I said, I've never been pushing for something because I'm really happy here, it's a big club," he said. He also credited the club with helping him join the Belgian national team.
On the possibility of signing a new deal, Raskin said: "I don't know, it's not up to me. It's up to the club. I'm just trying to work every day as hard as I can." He praised the manager, saying he has been amazing with him since he arrived.
Mc Innes also expected Raskin to move on but is happy to keep working with him. He said he normally leaves contract discussions to the club, player and agent, but would not be against working with Raskin beyond his current deal. He noted that Raskin could have had one or two options in the transfer window, but is keen to be part of a successful team. "Unless something comes up that really turns his head and really turns Rangers' head, then we keep working together," Mc Innes said.
