Raskin Opens Up on Tough Start and Fresh Hope at Rangers
So, let me walk you through what’s been going on with Rangers midfielder Nicolas Raskin, because his story this season has been surprisingly dramatic and, honestly, quite revealing.
Raskin, who was Rangers’ player of the year last season, admitted that he felt unfairly portrayed during the early months of the campaign, especially under former head coach Russell Martin. Over the summer, there were rumours swirling about potential transfers, and while all that noise was building, he suddenly found himself pushed out of the squad for some major games. Supporters were confused, frustration grew, and it all painted a picture that Raskin says simply wasn’t accurate.

Raskin didn’t hide how difficult that period was for him. Physically and mentally, he was struggling, and reading misinformation didn’t help. Instead of firing back, he chose to stay quiet, put his head down, and focus on trying to return to the pitch. He admitted he didn’t enjoy that stretch at all, but what kept him steady was the support he felt within the club—from teammates, staff, and especially the fans. He said he talked about it with his family, pointing out how powerful it felt to receive that level of backing despite being a foreign player far from home.
Things began to shift for him once Martin was dismissed in October. Under the new head coach, Danny Röhl, Raskin has been working to rebuild his form and re-establish himself. He’s made it clear that he doesn’t want to dwell on past drama; he doesn’t see himself as someone who seeks headlines. For him, the focus is simply doing his job, helping the team, and giving back to the supporters who stood by him.
Interestingly, even with only 18 months left on his contract, Raskin says he’s open to staying. He’s happy at Rangers, likes what the new manager is trying to build, and insists that if he ever were to leave, he’d want the club to benefit rather than walk away for free. He credits Rangers for giving him a platform, helping him reach international level, and believes he owes the club his best in return.
Right now, he’s taking things day by day—working hard, staying committed, and doing everything he can to repay the trust that’s being rebuilt.
