Nicolas Raskin believes Rangers' derby win over Celtic has delivered a 'good vibe' for next season as he outlined his ambitions.
Michael Beale swooped for the midfielder - currently on Belgium Under-21 duty at the Euros finals - as part of a double January transfer alongside Todd Cantwell with both players proving to be instant hits with the fans. The duo are now key men in the side already with the 21-year-old insisting the maturity and intensity in his game has progressed already since making the move to Ibrox.
Rangers are set for a summer of change with a number of high profile names such as Alfredo Morelos and Ryan Kent already out the door while four new players have penned deals with more to follow. Beale and Co are set for a big start to the new campaign with Champions League qualifiers while they will also be keen to put down a marker as they bid to dethrone Celtic next season - who have Brendan Rodgers back in the dugout.

Raskin, who played 16 times last term, has outlined the importance of his first full pre-season with the Light Blues and revealed he is feeling 100 per cent fit after an injury back in March.
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. I can't wait for it to start. My ambition is to win something at Rangers and finally get something to put on my CV. The Scottish league may not be the most followed championship in Belgium, but it's very big. Rangers are a top European club."
He added:"I progressed a lot in terms of maturity and the intensity in my game.
"I have learned to become more consistent. And I have also learned that you have to deal with the pressure of playing for a really big club. There is a lot of competition for a place in midfield and you have to fight to be picked. But at all big clubs, there is competition.
"Pre-season will be my first with Rangers and that is going to be really important for me. I had an injury in March, but I feel 100 per cent now."
