Nico Raskin sees Rangers pal publicly demand a new deal as star man told 'sign the contract'
@Source: dailyrecord.co.uk
All the talk this summer has been over the 49ers takeover at Rangers. Then focus swiftly changed to a new manger and that objective has been ticked off with Russell Martin in the door. Now the Light Blues faithful are desperate to see the new regime splash the cash as they bid to pull in Celtic and Brendan Rodgers. But it is prized asset in the changing room who is making waves not just with supporters but also his team-mates. And it is an opinion that is shared by everyone associated with Rangers when it comes to Nico Raskin. After getting over a series of niggles and establishing himself as a key cog in the side under Philippe Clement before his sacking, the midfielder hasn't looked back and has propelled himself to key man status. That isn't just for the club with the midfielder proving his worth and earning wide praise from Belgium boss Rudi Garcia as he tears it up alongside superstar team-mates like Kevin De Bryune. Closer to home the midfielder has two years left to run on his Rangers contract. In short, it means if an offer lands then the new owners would not need to rush into a sale but it would be prime time to do business in terms of holding all the aces at that magic two years to go milestone. But Dujon Sterling has publicly called out his good pal Raskin and told him 'sign the contract' in an Instagram exchange that the Rangers faithful will be lapping up. Sterling has been recovering from injury and shared snaps on his profile from his downtime with Rangers' pre-season back on June 23rd as they prepare for crucial Champions League qualifiers and the domestic return. Raskin was quick to comment 'my boy' before his pal pinged back a demand that is shared widely by the Ibrox support. It comes just days after Kyle Lafferty told Record Sport that the new era must be built around the Belgian. He explained: “Some of the players who are already at Rangers are outstanding and Russell will do well to hold on to them. “Raskin falls into that category. For me, he’s one of the best players in the Scottish Premiership so keeping him is a must - especially the way Russ wants to play. “We have to keep Raskin at Ibrox but it’s going to be hard because of how well he’s performed recently. "There will be teams in for him after making his international debut for Belgium. That’s been massive for him. “But Russ should be looking to build the team around him. Raskin is a work-horse and exactly the type Russ will want at Rangers. "The team will press high up the park and Raskin can do that. If we keep him and add a few more quality players, it’s going to be an exciting season for the club
