00:00But one player we need to discuss is the kind of future surrounding

00:04Nicholas Raskin, who, of course, was bummed out of Martin's squad

00:09for the old firm clash against Celtic prior to the international break.

00:14Apparently due to a fallout between the pair,

00:17Raskin has since been away on international duty with Belgium.

00:21He scored against Kazakhstan over the weekend on just his fifth cap,

00:26but he's due to return to Dibrox over the next couple of days

00:30and will hold showdown talks with Martin and Sport Director Kevin Thelwell

00:36to discuss resolving this issue.

00:42And I'd imagine from your perspective, Ben,

00:45it's quite important that this does get resolved quite quickly

00:49as Raskin is arguably one of Rangers' best players.

00:53And yeah, I would go as far as to say he is their best player

00:56and he's certainly their most tangible asset.

00:59He's a Belgian midfielder and yes, they were playing Kazakhstan,

01:03but he scored for the Belgian national team in a midfield

01:06that's got Juri Telemans and Kevin De Bruyne on it.

01:08Like, he is a, you know, if you would say to Rangers now,

01:13you can go and buy a Belgian international midfielder.

01:16Off the top of your head, without knowing anything about said player,

01:19you would probably go, oh well, that'll probably 20, 25 million pounds.

01:22Just because of the calibre of that national team.

01:25So for them to have that potential level of asset on their hands

01:30and from, as it stands now, currently be really training on his own,

01:34but it sounded as if prior to the old firm.

01:37It's one of them where if you're going to, he clearly wants to stay.

01:42He's been quite vocal on that.

01:43He doesn't seem like he wants to go.

01:45He seems like he can see himself being the main man at Rangers

01:48and you can definitely see a path for him to be that guy.

01:52And then whether it be, I think, Wolves were mentioned, Fiorentina.

01:55Then he goes and goes to a club like that.

01:57But I think it's imperative, obviously.

02:02A, because he's their best midfielder.

02:04And B, because you could potentially have, again, like Ranger have done in the past

02:09with Morelos, with Kent, with plenty of others.

02:12You could have an asset just diminishing in value

02:14and then you end up selling them for, you know, buttons really compared to

02:19what you could have had for him.

02:20You don't want a Hamzaga man situation where the player's there

02:23and, you know, you start, you know, proper headlines are being made

02:28about sort of discipline and all that.

02:30You would want to see it resolved.

02:31It sounds like Raskin wants to see it resolved.

02:34And I suppose now we just wait to see if it actually does get resolved.

02:37It was quite interesting, wasn't it?

02:39Neil McCann's comments post-match after the derby

02:42and he was basically quite open about the fact that Raskin has been

02:46a disruptive figure behind the scenes, particularly in training,

02:52by the sounds of it, McCann spoke quite candidly.

02:55I thought about the whole situation, that they came to blows

02:58on several occasions.

03:01But, yeah, I mean, obviously there's still the potential

03:04that there could be late transfer interest in them

03:07as there are a couple of windows still open over the next couple of days,

03:10but it's difficult to see that happening.

03:13And Raskin's kind of said that that's already out of the question,

03:16hasn't he, Ben?

03:16And so, yeah, he's one player that is kind of a real fan's favourite

03:22at Ibrox, and you'd imagine that it'll be best for all parties

03:28if they can get this resolved as quickly as possible,

03:30going into a massive game this weekend.

03:32in.

03:33And I'll see you next time.

03:45And we'll see you next time.

03:46Now we'll go back.
