Rangers-Celtic Draw Marks First Scoreless Old Firm Since 2017 Amid Raskin Exile Controversy

News summary

Rangers' head coach Russell Martin expressed disappointment at not securing a win in the recent 0-0 Old Firm derby against Celtic but praised his players' fight, desire, and aggression during the match. The game highlighted ongoing challenges within Rangers, including the controversial exclusion and banishment of midfielder Nico Raskin from the squad and stadium, a decision that has sparked debate about squad management and dressing room dynamics. Despite Raskin's absence, Martin emphasized that his decisions are made for the good of the team and denied any personal issues, while pundits and former players like Neil McCann suggested Martin should attempt reconciliation with Raskin, given the player's value and past contributions. Raskin's father publicly criticized Martin, further complicating the situation, but Raskin himself showed support for Rangers on social media. Rangers also face potential player changes, with Cyriel Dessers likely leaving and new signings anticipated. Meanwhile, Celtic, despite a poor performance and Champions League exit, remain top of the Premiership table after securing a point and a clean sheet in the derby.
