‘Nico Raskin ready to quit Rangers’ as Ibrox transfer bombshell drops – Exclusive
Nico Raskin could soon inform Rangers of his decision to leave.
The Belgium international has been linked with a potential departure already this month, with a move seemingly edging closer.
This comes after a personally positive season at Ibrox for the 24-year-old, which has seen him flourish in a largely disappointing Gers outfit.
As a result, it is little surprise that there is interest in his signature, which may have already turned the head of Raskin at this early stage of the window.
Raskin open to Rangers summer exit
The Light Blues are now under the management of Russell Martin, and the Englishman is likely to be keen on keeping his best players.
Although someone like James Tavernier could be on his way out of G51, keeping hold of the Belgian is likely a high priority.
This may not have an impact on the number 43 and whether he opts to stick around in Govan or take the chance to move on this summer.

A source close to the Belgium national team has now revealed to Ibrox News that Raskin is open to a move away from Rangers this summer.
The former Standard Liege man is only willing to depart Ibrox if a side from a top league is to show a strong interest in his signature.
Although no deal has been done yet for the midfielder, a move to Aston Villa could be in the pipeline to link up with national teammates Youri Tielemans and Amadou Onana.
Raskin could leave Rangers for Aston Villa
There is no guarantee of a move as things stand, but there is still over 10 weeks remaining in the transfer window for a deal to be struck.
This gives Unai Emery’s side, or any other interested party, to help push a deal over the line with the Light Blues for the central midfielder.
Aston Villa have an existing interest in Raskin, and it is clear that a move to the Premier League would be attractive to the 24-year-old this summer.
This would leave Martin light in the centre of the park in Govan in terms of personnel and experience, even with the free transfer addition of Lyall Cameron.
