Nicolas Raskin sold on Rangers transfer by Michael Beale pitch as he makes Standard Liege 'big brother' claim

Nicolas Raskin admits Michael Beale sold him on a move to Ibrox - and revealed Rangers feels like the BIG BROTHER of Standard Liege. The Belgian became the second January transfer window arrival in Govan with the midfielder following Todd Cantwell.

The 21-year-old can’t wait to get started and admitted playing in front of an empty Ibrox in the Europa League for his former club during the height of Covid-19 has given him a thirst to see it packed to the rafters. Raskin had a host of top European clubs chasing him including Stuttgart, Mallorca. Marseille, Napoli, Club Brugge and Galatasaray.
