Rangers Confirm Signing Of Nicolas Raskin

RANGERS Football Club are delighted to announce the signing of midfielder Nicolas Raskin from Standard Liege for an undisclosed fee on a long-term contract, subject to a work permit being confirmed.

The 21-year-old Belgian under-21 international becomes Michael Beale’s second signing as the Rangers manager further strengthens the Gers squad. 

Raskin came through the academy at Standard Liege before a spell at youth level with Anderlecht. At just 16-years-old, the midfielder signed his first professional contract with Gent and went on to make his senior debut in February 2018.

He returned to Standard Liege in 2019 and has impressed in the Belgian Pro League, making 96 appearances in all competitions for his hometown club.

He is expected to feature at this summer’s UEFA Euro under-21 championships in Georgia and Romania.

Nicolas came up against Rangers back in 2020 as he featured at Ibrox for Standard Liege in the Europa League, and he has continued to develop since, with Gers beating off significant interest from across the continent to secure his signature.

Subject to his work permit being confirmed, Raskin will begin training with Rangers in the coming days.

On signing for Rangers, he said: “I feel very excited to be here and I also feel very proud to join a very big club. I’m looking forward to playing at Ibrox. It was very exciting when I was told of Rangers’ interest because it’s a big club.

I’m looking forward to making my debut and I hope it can be as soon as possible.”

Manager Michael Beale, commented: “As a football club, Nicolas is a player that we have tracked for a long time and we are very pleased to welcome him and his family to Rangers.

“He is a young player that has already amassed good experience both in domestic and European competition. I am looking forward to working with him closely and integrating him into our team.”

Sporting Director, Ross Wilson, added: “We are delighted to further strengthen our squad today with Nico's arrival.

“He's a talented young player and someone who I know will enjoy working and further developing his talent with Michael and our staff.”
