Rangers are seeking a £20m transfer fee for Nicolas Raskin. The midfielder's poor performance at the 2026 FIFA World Cup has damaged his stock.

What happened at the World Cup?

Nicolas Raskin failed to impress for Belgium in their Group G fixture against Iran. He was substituted after just 58 minutes. The Belgian coaching staff's decision to hook him early has raised questions about his value.

Why it matters for Rangers

Rangers originally paid £1.5m to sign Raskin from Standard Liège. The club wants to make a profit but demanding £20m may be unrealistic. European suitors like Atalanta are monitoring the situation. | Stat | Value | | --- | --- | | League standing | 2nd in Premiership, 69 pts, 19W-12D-2L from 33 games | | Recent form | WLLLL | | Last result | Falkirk 2-5 Rangers (2026-05-16) |

What comes next?

Rangers must reconsider their valuation and plan for the future. The new manager, Derek McInnes, needs to rebuild the squad. Accepting a lower offer, around £12m, may be more sensible. This would allow the club to invest in new players and move forward. The current squad requires a massive overhaul. Tying up vital trading plans while waiting for a big offer risks stalling the recruitment drive. Rangers need to alter their stance to facilitate a quick resolution. As of 24 Jun 2026, the club is still looking to make a deal. The future of Nicolas Raskin remains uncertain.
