Nicolas Raskin insists Rangers' mauling of Celtic in their last derby has sent out a message ahead of next season's Scottish Premiership title battle.
The midfielder is with the Belgium Under 21s squad who kicked off their Euros with a goalless draw against the Netherlands in Tbilisi, Georgia. Raskin impressed after his £1.7million transfer from Standard Liege in January and the 22-year-old made 11 league starts for Rangers.
He played the full 90 minutes in the last Old Firm game of the season when Rangers swept to a 3-0 home win against a Celtic side who had already been crowned champions. And Raskin believes Rangers can build on that win. He said: "I played a lot for Rangers during the season - whenever I was fit basically. Rangers are a great club with very high expectations. When I arrived, it was a complicated situation and we lost a cup final. But the longer the season went on, the better we were as a team. We ended the season beating Celtic 3-0 and that gave us all a good vibe for next season.
