Raskin Relishes Consistent Play in Preferred Role

Nico Raskin is currently experiencing a consistent period playing in his preferred role, having been included in Rangers’ starting lineup for the last 10 matches. His participation earlier in the season was limited due to a pre-season injury, but he has since become a regular fixture in Philippe Clement’s starting XI. Ahead of Sunday’s Scottish Premiership encounter against Ross County in Dingwall, Raskin stated, “I think I’m playing where I wanted to play now.” He further elaborated on his current role, adding, “Since I came, it’s maybe the first time I get a run in the number six position. That’s where I enjoy the most playing.” To prevent a recurrence of recent injuries, Raskin made efforts to better manage his weight, shedding up to three stone. The club’s chefs supported him in this by preparing nutritious meals. He commented on this change, saying, “It’s just better for me.” Raskin also reflected on his injury history, noting, “I’ve never really had injuries before and when I came I had four injuries in one and a half years.” Following Sunday’s match, Rangers are scheduled to host Tottenham, managed by former Celtic manager Ange Postecoglou, in the Europa League on Thursday. The team will then face Premiership leaders Celtic in the League Cup final the subsequent Sunday. Raskin described the upcoming period as “a big week, a very exciting week.” He also emphasized the importance of their initial performance, stating, “We need to put on a good performance against Ross County away.” Sandi Toksvig is accompanied by Gyles Brandreth, Lulu, Emmanuel Sonubi, and Alan Davies. Opportunities are available to perform songs by artists such as Queen, Taylor Swift, Bon Jovi, Katy Perry, and others. Ben Fogle and Kate Humble have returned for the celebratory events at Longleat Safari Park.
