Nicolas Raskin says he is 'really happy' at Rangers but won't rule out January move
Raskin content at Ibrox but leaves future open
Rangers midfielder Nicolas Raskin says he is "really happy" at the club but is unsure what might happen when the January transfer window opens. The Belgium international, 25, scored his first goal of the season in last weekend's 2-2 draw at Dundee and has started Rangers' past seven games.
Raskin had been linked with a move away in the summer and was left out of some games amid a possible transfer. Since joining Rangers in January 2023, he has made more than 150 club appearances and won 22 senior caps for Belgium.
'The hardest bit I've been through'
Speaking about refocusing on Rangers after the World Cup and the transfer uncertainty, Raskin said it had not been difficult, but that being unable to play was the hardest part.
"The hardest was not being able to play. Watching the boys playing, this is probably the hardest bit I've been through during the window."
The midfielder admitted he had considered a new challenge after the World Cup, given his ambition, but said he had never pushed for a move.
"When you're an ambitious player, you want to keep going higher and higher and higher. I thought there was a point where maybe I could try and go and get for a new challenge after the World Cup. I've never been pushing for something because I'm really happy here. It's a big club. This club helped me join the Belgian national team, which is a big, big thing."
Raskin praised the manager, saying he had been "amazing" with him since arriving, and said he was calm about the situation.
"I'm really calm with that. I don't need to push anything. The manager's been amazing with me since he arrived. We've got loads of time before January. We try to make the best of it, try to win as many games as we can and I don't know what's going to happen."
Contract talks remain with the club
Asked about the possibility of extending his contract before the end of next season, Raskin was non-committal. "I don't know it's not up to me. It's up to the club," he said.
