Midfielder Nicolas Raskin says he is happy at Rangers but unsure what the future holds after Belgium's World Cup quarter-final exit.

Nicolas Raskin has insisted he remains happy at Rangers despite uncertainty over his long-term future at the Scottish club. The 25-year-old midfielder, who joined from Standard Liege in January 2023, was expected to leave after helping Belgium reach the 2026 World Cup quarter-final in July. Belgium lost 2-1 to eventual winners Spain, with Mikel Merino scoring the decisive goal in the 88th minute.

Raskin was left out of Rangers' early-season matches amid speculation about a potential move, but no transfer materialised before the summer deadline. Speaking about the situation for the first time, Raskin said he had considered moving on to a new challenge after the World Cup but was not actively pushing for one. 'This club helped me to join the Belgian national team, which is a big thing,' he said. 'If something comes and everybody would be happy with it, then I would have looked to see if I could do it or not.'

Since being restored to the Rangers team, Raskin has become a key figure under McInnes. He said the manager's support since his arrival had been 'amazing'. Raskin is now focused on finally collecting silverware at Ibrox, which has eluded him since joining the club.
