Scout Report

Technical Profile

Raskin acts as the primary link between the defensive line and the attack. His ability to receive the ball under pressure and turn into space is vital for Rangers’ progression through the phases.

Defensive Work Rate

A tenacious tackler, Raskin excels in the counter-press. His recovery pace allows the full-backs to push high, knowing he can cover the width of the pitch to break up transitions.

Tactical Role

Typically deployed as the ‘number 6’ or in a double pivot, he dictates the speed of the game. His vision for long-range switches remains one of his most underrated assets.

Nico Raskin: Rangers leader, Russell Martin fallout, and rebirth under Danny Rohl

In a period where Rangers have largely underwhelmed, Nico Raskin has been a consistently top performer. While on occasion he has frustrated the Gers fanbase, the midfield gem is an absolute top talent in the heart of the Rangers engine room. Signed for £1.5million from Standard Liege back in January 2023, Raskin has gone on to become a mainstay in midfield. His long-term future at Ibrox remains somewhat shrouded in doubt. Raskin had a major fallout with former boss Russell Martin early in the 2025-26 campaign, having been linked with a big-money move to the Premier League. But he is a player who current boss Danny Rohl is a great admirer of, and it would be a tough pill to swallow if Raskin were to depart in the summer transfer window. The old saying is no player is bigger than the club, and that is certainly true. But keeping a player of Raskin’s quality would be hugely beneficial in the long-term vision of 49ers Enterprises and Andrew Cavenagh of re-establishing Rangers as the dominant force in the Scottish Premiership.

Nico Raskin: What’s his value?

Raskin has become an absolute mainstay of Rangers’ midfielder since arriving from Standard Liege. According to Transfermarkt, his current value is in the region of £12-15million. His long-term future at Ibrox has been the subject of much debate.

What happened last summer?

Reports in the summer transfer window suggested the Gers rejected formal offers from both Crystal Palace and Wolves, with a fee of around £12m said to have been offered. However, it was said Rangers valued their Belgian ace between the £20-25m mark, especially due to a 20% sell-on clause he has with Liege. Raskin’s contract runs until the summer of 2028, so Rangers may have a decision to make on his future this summer.

Has Danny Rohl’s arrival changed things?

Raskin was ostracised under former boss Russell Martin amid reports he wanted out of Ibrox. But under Danny Rohl, Raskin has been an influential performer, and you sense it would take a huge bid to allow him to leave in the summer.

How important is Champions League qualification?

Raskin is a Belgium international, so it stands to reason that he will want to play at the highest level possible for his club. If Rangers are to retain his services, then having Champions League football would be a big string to the bow. However, it will take a huge end to the season to be able to guarantee that.

Should Rangers cash in this summer if a £15m+ bid arrives, or is Raskin too vital to lose?

What Danny Rohl previously said about Nico Raskin?

Rangers boss Rohl is clearly a big fan of Raskin’s, but – like many Gers supporters – has previously hinted about what more he wants to see from the midfield ace. Speaking back in December 2025, Rohl revealed the discussions he help with Raskin over what he can do to improve as a player.

“It’s important that players can always see a development, see a direction where we want them go,” Rohl said.

“This is what we are trying to deliver at the moment. I give him a picture of what I want to see from him.

“I had an individual talk with him in the past few days – very long, 25 or 30 minutes. I’m absolutely convinced that he recognises what we are doing.

“For me, his best position is as a No6, because he likes to have the game in front of him. I see that he can take the ball forward from there, rather than backwards from a No8 or No10 position. It’s very clear for me that the No6 role is best for him.

“Nico is an important player, both for me and the group. We have worked individually with him, and in meetings I spoke with him about what I want to see.
