Rangers Midfielder Raskin Future Uncertain After Squad Exclusion, Manager Comments

The situation at Rangers has reached a critical point following a humiliating 9-1 aggregate defeat by Club Brugge, culminating in a public fallout between midfielder Nico Raskin's father and manager Russell Martin. Thierry Raskin openly criticized Martin's team selections and leadership, calling out his ego and undermining the squad, which has further strained relations and cast doubt on Nico Raskin's future at the club. Martin's position remains fragile amid fan discontent and poor results, with uncertainty surrounding several players, including Raskin, as the transfer deadline approaches. Despite attempts to rebuild the midfield and monitor new signings like Selim Amallah, the internal fractures and public disputes highlight a toxic atmosphere within the team. Rangers legend Ally McCoist has criticized the club's recruitment, while calls for Martin's departure continue to grow. Martin has acknowledged the challenges and emphasized the need for leadership ahead of the crucial Old Firm derby against Celtic.
