A Standard Liege supremo has admitted the Belgian side had no choice but to sell Nicolas Raskin to Rangers.
Michael Beale got his man last month when the 21-year-old penned a long-term deal at Ibrox as he joined former Norwich City midfielder Todd Cantwell in a batch of two new recruits. Raskin had been a transfer target during Gio van Bronckhorst's tenure at Rangers but a swoop in the summer never materialised under the Dutchman's watch.
Beale admitted his interest was still alive after reports in his homeland suggested Raskin's relationship with the Liege hierarchy had broken down with former Celtic boss Ronny Deila even banishing the youngster training. The centre of the storm seemed to come over pay disputes in a potential new deal with the Belgians.
