Rangers star drops move claim after slow start to campaign

Rangers midfielder Nicolas Raskin has had a slow start to the season but a new manager with a consistent game plan could see the January signing become a key player once again.

The Belgian has been on international duty this week and could well return to countryman Philippe Clement being in charge if reports are to be believed.

If he does get back to the sort of form that we know he is capable of then Rangers could provide the platform that Nicolas Raskin desires to fulfil his dream of making it to the Premier League, as told to RTBF.

Rangers stepping stone explained by Nicolas Raskin

The 22-year old looked closer to his best against St Mirren before the break and it was in part due to a tactical tweak that gave him more freedom to get forward and join the attack.

Playing well for Rangers gives us a better chance of winning silverware but, as Nicolas Raskin explains, moving to Glasgow could be key to heading to the richest league in the world:

“One day I want to play in the Premier League, but I don’t put pressure on myself.

“I have a plan in my head, Rangers is just a stage in it.

“Rangers was the best choice at that time to realise my plan.”

There are some that have questioned him being so open about looking ahead and having aspirations of a big move.

That he should focus on his current form.

But would you believe him if Raskin said he wanted to stay at Rangers for his whole career hoovering up trophies?

There are enough things to get annoyed about being a Rangers fan, Nicolas Raskin having dreams isn’t one of them.
