Rangers yet to see best of Nicolas Raskin despite hitting another level under Danny Rohl

Rangers fans should expect Nicolas Raskin to become even better in the coming years.

That’s what former teammate Ryan Jack believes after seeing his former teammate hit ‘another level’ against Falkirk.

The Belgium international was the catalyst of the Gers’ comeback in 4 Stadium Way, getting three crucial points in the 6-3 victory.

Despite the 25-year-old’s impressive performances of late, Jack feels the former Standard Liege star can go up a level or two and compete at the top.

Danny Rohl trusts Raskin and the German manager’s belief in the midfielder has paid off as the Glaswegian outfit find themselves in a position to win the league title this season after being 13 points off the top at one point.

Nicolas Raskin numbers can be better at Rangers

Raskin has scored five goals and provided seven assists in the William Hill Premiership this season.

While the Belgian star’s shift to a more attacking role has brought out the best in him, the midfielder could have even better numbers in the league, having missed six big chances and created 11 big opportunities, according to Sofascore.

Raskin has recorded 0.4 shots on target per game, but his goal against Falkirk showed that he should pull the trigger more often, as he’s a better finisher than given credit for.

The midfielder has also averaged 1.4 key passes per game in the league, and if he had better finishers ahead of him, fans in G51 might see an even better version of him.

Speaking to the Daily Record on 16 April, Jack said, “Honestly, that second-half performance from Nico was on another level for me. That’s why I think he’s got another two or three gears still to go up where he could play at a really high level, especially if he’s still playing for Belgium.”

Andrew Cavenagh has perfect time to cash in on Nicolas Raskin

Rangers should expect a massive profit from Raskin’s sale in one of the upcoming transfer windows after his rise at club and international level.

The Belgium international will enter the final two years of his deal at the end of the season and will surely play a big role for the Red Devils at the 2026 World Cup.

If the midfielder thrives on the big stage in the summer, it may be the right time for the Glaswegian outfit to cash in, considering the possible hype around him and his contractual situation.

Andrew Cavenagh will have a major decision to make in the upcoming transfer window, one that could lead to a significant exit from Ibrox.
