Rangers £25m demand no longer ridiculous as Nicolas Raskin revival to pay off

Rangers will surely be confident about profiting from Nicolas Raskin in the upcoming transfer window.

The midfielder has redeemed himself at the Gers since his apparent falling out with Russell Martin at the start of the season, scoring and assisting in the Govan side’s comeback win against Falkirk.

In the 6-3 victory, the Belgium international was central to the Light Blues’ success, and if he continues in a similar vein going into the 2026 World Cup, he will surely be in demand in the summer.

Raskin was valued at £25million at Ibrox last summer, and while the price tag may have looked ridiculous in the first half of the campaign, the Glaswegian outfit can arguably be confident about getting offers close to it if the midfielder after his recent revival.

Andrew Cavenagh is expected to back Danny Rohl ahead of the 2026-27 campaign and the American owners may need to replace the Belgian ace sooner rather than later.

Danny Rohl has ready-made Nicolas Raskin replacement at Ibrox

Tochi Chukwuani has hit the ground running at Rangers since his move in the winter transfer window, bringing stability and physicality to their engine room.

The 23-year-old has the quality to transition into a midfielder capable of contributing at both ends of the pitch, similar to Raskin.

Connor Barron has shown he can be the deep-lying midfielder the Glaswegian outfit can count on and Rohl surely won’t be worried about his options if the Belgian star ends up leaving in the coming months.
