Thelo Aasgaard now on verge of £6m Rangers exit after Nicolas Raskin development
Thelo Aasgaard is close to leaving Rangers before the Scottish transfer deadline.
The Gers have until 5pm on 3 September to do business and it looks like they're ready to part ways with the Norway international before that.
Derek McInnes seemed to value the 24-year-old after he returned early for pre-season training, but it looks like he's expendable at the Light Blues.
Aasgaard could be on his way to Anderlecht in Belgium after an agreement at Ibrox.
With Nicolas Raskin's future still up in the air, the Glaswegian outfit have pushed forward with another midfield exit in Govan.

Thelo Aasgaard transfer latest at Rangers
Raskin's possible exit to Besiktas didn't materialise, as the Gers rejected a loan offer from the Super Lig club.
There's still time for the Belgium international to find a solution for his future, but for now, the midfielder has been included in the Light Blues' squad to face Falkirk.
According to Scottish journalist Andy Devlin on 2 September, while the Glaswegian outfit haven't found an agreement for Raskin's exit, Aasgaard looks to be on his way out.
The Norway international is on the verge of a £6million move to Anderlecht.
Why Ibrox faithful are about to go into meltdown
Aasgaard has seen his influence under McInnes diminish since the start of the season, but that doesn't mean Rangers should sell him.
Looking at the Scottish manager's current midfield options at Ibrox, there's no one with an attacking mindset.
Dan Neil, Cammy Devlin, Vanja Dragojevic and Tochi Chukwuani do their best work before the final third of the pitch.
Even if Raskin stays at the Light Blues, he isn't an out-and-out number 10.
The Glaswegian outfit are clearly leaving themselves with an unbalanced engine room and that may not bode well for their prospects this season.
