James McFadden couldn't believe what he saw from Nicolas Raskin as Rangers drew against Dundee on Saturday.

The Gers travelled to Dens Park on 17 October and came away with a point after a 2-2 draw.

In the 37th minute, Bradley Fink took the lead, but Badredine Bounani ensured the Light Blues went into the break level with an impressive strike.

Raskin one-upped Bounani's goal at Dens Park with a screamer from around 25 yards out to put Derek McInnes' side ahead.

Unfortunately, the Glaswegian outfit couldn't see the game out after Dan Neil gave the ball away and Callum Jones scored Dundee's second.

There were some incredible moments in the game for the Govan side, but the Belgium international took the cake.

Nicolas Raskin pulls off Rangers special vs Dundee

Raskin has been in the headlines at Rangers since the summer after failing to get a move away from the club.

After staying at the Gers, the midfielder has become a key player for McInnes, forming the preferred partnership with Neil in the engine room.

When the Light Blues needed him the most, the Belgian ace pulled something magnificent out of the hat.

Speaking on Sky Sports on 17 October, James McFadden said, "This is absolutely magnificent from Raskin.

"When this comes to Raskin it doesn't look like there's much on. Look at that, Goodman has got absolutely no chance. That's a wonderful strike. Unstoppable."

At that point, the Glaswegian outfit were in control of the game at Dens Park and could've scored more before Steven Pressley's team eventually found the equaliser.

Derek McInnes has obvious change after Dens Park disappointment

McInnes will certainly admit that playing Ryan Naderi alone up top wasn't the best decision against Dundee.

Kevin Kelsy would've surely had a better time against the two giant centre-backs at Dens Park.

Minsu Kim may have played himself out of the team, with Bouanani shining on the right-wing.

Naderi seems undroppable for McInnes at the moment, given his pressing at the top of the field.

The Glaswegian outfit welcome St Johnstone to Ibrox next in the Scottish Premiership and Kelsy could potentially come in for Kim in the starting lineup.
