Standard Liege boss Ronny Deila has insisted Rangers target Nicolas Raskin must make a decision on his future in Belgium as speculation ramps up over a last gasp move.
Reports in Belgium this week stated that the 21-year-old midfielder had emerged as a target for Gio van Bronckhorst and sporting director Ross Wilson with the transfer deadline rapidly approaching. The Belgian under-21 cap was dropped to the bench for Standard's clash with Kortrijk raising doubts he will see out the season in the Belgian Pro League, with Raskin's contract ending in the summer of 2023.
With Glen Kamara being linked with a move to Nice before the window shuts on September 1, Rangers could be forced into a late move to bolster the midfield ranks at Ibrox as they look to compete domestically and in the Champions League this term. The former Celtic boss admitted Raskin and the club were locked in a contract stalemate.
Voetbal Primeur report that Standard are looking to bring in another midfielder to replace their star man. The report states that Deila is unlikely to select players who are not "100 per cent" committed to the club.
When asked by the Belgian outlet about Raskin's future, Deila said: "Of course I want him to stay. I know it's a complicated situation for him too. At the moment Nico is thinking a lot. His situation is complicated, given the his contract expires in June 2023."
