It’s an old battle cry but new Rangers combatant Nico Raskin reckons it rings just as true today.
‘No-one likes us, we don’t care’ is the famous mantra of an Ibrox faithful happy to play the bad guy in Scottish football’s never-ending melodrama. And it’s a role Raskin insists he’s just as comfortable with too as he prepares to step out onto another hostile stage.
Last week it was a bear-free zone as the away support were locked out of Celtic Park. Now another lion’s den awaits as Michael Beale’s side prepare to journey north to Pittodrie to take on an Aberdeen side hoping to roar their way back into Europe. The Premiership repercussions next Sunday no longer hold quite the same significance after that title race-ending Parkhead defeat. But it’s a game that still holds major importance as Gers look to rebuild confidence ahead of their Scottish Cup semi-final showdown with last week’s conquerors at the end of the month.
