Transfer-hungry Rangers have finally made their move for Standard Liege ace Nicolas Raskin.
But Ibrox chiefs have been told they’ll need to come up with an improved offer if they want to land the Belgium Under-21 midfielder this month. Record Sport understands the two clubs are “in dialogue” over a move that will see the highly-rated 21-year-old become Michael Beale’s second January signing.
Rangers have been long-term admirers of the Liege youngster, whose contract expires at the end of the season. Raskin has been dumped from Standard’s first team – managed by former Celtic boss Ronny Deila – following a bust-up over his refusal to discuss an extension to that deal. But Rangers now look set to offer a solution to that row after making an opening bid Belgian source claim is worth high six-figures. However, the Glasgow outfit will need to come up with a substantially better offer if they are to get their man before Tuesday’s transfer deadline.
