Rangers star Nicolas Raskin has responded to a clip of his role in the victory over Partick Thistle on social media and it appears he’s been bitten by the Ibrox bug.
The Belgian midfielder joined the club in January after a drawn-out pursuit with the U21 international swapping hometown club Standard Liege for Rangers.
And the 21-year-old is already beginning to make an impression as Nicolas Raskin was handed a start with Partick Thistle coming to town in the Scottish Cup.
Whilst the entire tram failed to impress in the first half, with the Ibrox side going into the break 1-0 down, it was a moment of magic from Nicolas Raskin which inspired Rangers back into the game.

The midfielder darted into the box to receive a return pass from Malik Tillman and after wrestling for a little bit of space dinked a perfect cross onto the head of Antonio Colak.
The big Croatian striker headed home his 15th goal of the season – and his first since October – with a clip of the goal doing the rounds on social media.
This has been picked up by Nicolas Raskin himself on Twitter, who shared a clip of the goal against Partick Thistle with red, white and blue hearts. Something tells us we’re all going to love this kid.
Whilst it’s early days, Rangers fans are starting to take to their new midfielder and it follows Nicolas Raskin announcing upon signing that he’s come to Ibrox to become a Champion.
“I want to be champion for sure,” said Nicolas Raskin. “I want to know what it means to be champions.
“I have heard that we are nine points behind – but we still have two games against them. Everything can change fast. You win those two games? You never know. I think the team is confident.
“Of course we have to believe it. The way the team played on Wednesday (in the 3-0 win over third-placed Hearts at Tynecastle) gives confidence to the team to believe it.
“In football everything is possible. Just be positive, look in front and do the best you can. If you do the best you can, you won’t have regrets. We have to make sure we do the job and then we’ll see how far we go.”
Meanwhile, Rangers are reportedly “pushing” to sign Darius Olaru.
