Standard Liege sporting director Fergal Harkin vows the transfer situation that allowed Rangers to sign Nicolas Raskin will “never” happen again.
The Belgian star made a cut price move to Ibrox on deadline day in January after it became clear he wasn’t going to sign a new deal with Liege, where his contract was due to expire in the summer. Former Celtic boss Ronny Deila rated the midfielder, but ended up freezing him out with the Belgian Pro League club needing to find a suitor during the window to avoid losing him for nothing in the summer.
Michael Beale was only too happy to sign him up on a long-term contract at Ibrox. Raskin joined Todd Cantwell as Beale’s two winter additions and made his debut against Ross County before being handed a first start in the Scottish Cup fifth-round win over Partick Thistle at the weekend.
