Nicolas Raskin has been quizzed about his Rangers future while out in the States for the World Cup.

The midfielder was used as a substitute in Belgium's opening game, a draw with Egypt, but turned in an effective display which could catch the notice of watching clubs. He is already believed to have scouts keeping an eye.

Having previously stated an ambition to one day play in the Premier League, that is unlikely to have changed for the 25-year-old. The club have also been tipped to cash in on an asset and use the money to fund a rebuild.

However, he is not thinking about the possibility of a transfer while there is a job to do. Having said that, he is aware of a chance to show off his capabilities.

Asked about potentially winning a move, Raskin said: “I’m not thinking about that right now. I’m not occupied with that at the moment.

“I leave that to those who represent me in Belgium and I’m focused on what’s happening here.

“I am not concerned with a possible transfer, nor with the amount of a future transfer fee. I leave all that to my agents.



“Of course, it’s always good to come and get some minutes at the World Cup is a moment to showcase yourself.

“But right now, we’ve put club life on hold to concentrate 100 per-cent on what is happening here and trying to do the best for Belgium.”

Raskin sent an emotional message to ougoing boss Danny Rohl, after the German helped transform his Rangers fortunes after being out the picture under Russell Martin.

Derek McInnes is already in the door as a replacement, but Raskin has not spoken to the ex-Hearts boss yet.

“No, not yet," he said when asked. "I’ve seen a little bit of what’s going on.

“I’ve had contact with the outgoing coach but I haven’t gathered any more information beyond that.”
