Sources: Rangers to block Nicolas Raskin completing January move

Rangers have made clear they will not sell Raskin in January despite European interest, with the midfielder content to stay and help the club's title push.

Nicolas Raskin is set to remain at Rangers for the remainder of the 2024-25 season after the club made their stance on a potential January sale explicit. The 25-year-old midfielder has been instrumental to Derek McInnes' side, who sit four points behind Scottish Premiership leaders Celtic with a game in hand.

Raskin has attracted continued interest from European clubs, including Besiktas, who came closest to signing him last summer but could not meet Rangers' asking price. However, both the club and the player are aligned on staying put. Raskin told media last month that while he remains ambitious, he is happy at Ibrox and has no desire to push for a move.

Rangers view Raskin as crucial to their title challenge and have no plans to weaken their squad mid-season. The Belgian international, who featured at the World Cup, remains a mainstay under McInnes.
