Nicolas Raskin socks is currently a trending topic after the Belgian made his debut for Rangers in the 2-1 win over Ross County.
The Ibrox faithful were excited to catch a glimpse of their new £1.7m signing as he entered the fray with seven minutes remaining, although most of the post match talk was in regards to his socks.
So, what happened with Raskin’s socks? Let’s take a look…

Well, the 21-year-old had plenty of supporters confused after he was seen wearing white socks while his Rangers teammates wore black, as you can see in the tweet below.
Raskin seemingly rolled his club socks down to his shins, while also wearing white grip socks as seen on most professional footballers nowadays.
Usually, those white grip socks only go as high as the ankle, although the Rangers No.43 appeared to pull them up much higher than that, while rolling his black socks down to the point where they were barely visible.
The Belgium Under-21 international has since acknowledged his fashion choice on Instagram amid a barrage of questions from supporters, with some even branding the situation unacceptable on social media.
Raskin wrote: “That magic feeling, thanks for the warm welcome! Hungry for more. PS: Right, next time, I will fix my socks.”
Putting his socks aside for a moment, the midfield maestro did well after Michael Beale introduced him to the Ibrox faithful in the 83rd minute, helping the Gers see the game out to secure a vital three points.
As WhoScored shows, Raskin made two successful tackles in his brief cameo, while also completing one successful dribble – he also won a freekick to take the pressure off his teammates in the dying stages.
It was a bright debut from Beale’s deadline day recruit, and once he sorts out his socks, supporters can hopefully focus on his talent in the heart of midfield.
