Nicolas Raskin wows with 'absolutely sensational' moment in Rangers defeat to Jagiellonia Bialystok

Nicolas Raskin gave a reminder of his quality in Rangers' defeat to Jagiellonia Bialystok.

Rangers suffered huge disappointment in Thursday's 2-1 third-round qualifying first-leg loss in Poland.

Guilherme Montóia's early own goal had the Gers off to a flier as they sought to take a lead back to Ibrox next week.

But a quickfire double sucker punch from Kajetan Szmyt has the hosts in front before the break, and Rangers were unable to recover.

The good news is that Rangers still have a chance to turn things around, but it was a desperately disappointing evening.

Belgium ace Raskin entered the fray in the second period, and one moment in particular caught the eye of BBC Sportsound pundit Steven Thompson.

What did Nicolas Raskin do to impress Steven Thompson in Rangers defeat?

Raskin is still getting acquainted with Derek McInnes after he was on a break after representing Belgium at the World Cup.

The 25-year-old has been heavily linked with a move away from Ibrox this summer, and it remains to be seen what Rangers do.

However, Raskin made a noticeable difference to how Rangers performed, and one delivery looking for Findlay Curtis in the second half had Thompson raving.

Young winger Curtis could only volley wide, but Thompson was impressed, saying on BBC Sportsound: "The delivery in is absolutely sensational. Curtis is trying to get the other side of the defender. It didn't miss by a lot.

"Seconds before that, Rangers had really gotten away with one. It's opening up.

"It is a better spell for Rangers, but they have to watch they don't leave it open at the back."

What's the latest with Nicolas Raskin's Rangers future?

Raskin has long-since been admiring suitors from elsewhere, but the speculation has really mounted this summer.

The 25-year-old has two years remaining on his Ibrox contract, so this might be the last opportunity to make big money on a sale.

Serie A giants Roma have been linked with a move earlier in the window, as have fellow Italian side Bologna.

Premier League new boys Hull City have also been credited with an interest, though nothing has yet materialised there.

Rangers know how talented Raskin is, but the smart play could be to sell up and reinvest the money.
