Nicolas Raskin admits he needs one month to be fully fit for Rangers as he claimed that he will have an unlikely cheerleader in his corner for the game against Celtic.
Rangers are set for a showpiece Viaplay Cup final with their bitter rivals as Michael Beale's unbeaten team go in to the game nine points behind in the league but haven't tasted defeat. And new signing Raskin has already impressed as part of a renewed midfield, making his full debut against Partick Thistle before starting against Livingston in a 3-0 triumph at the weekend.
The 21-year-old admits he is confident he can handle the pressure-cooker atmosphere of Hampden Park and admits ex-Celtic boss Ronny Deila - who won trophies for the Hoops at the national stadium - might even be cheering him on despite his Parkhead predilections. He said: “I don’t know, we don’t speak about that. But I’m sure he’ll want me to win!”
