Former Ibrox goalkeeper Cammy Bell has expressed a positive outlook on Nicolas Raskin's availability for Rangers in their upcoming Europa League match against Jagiellonia Bialystok. The 25-year-old Belgian midfielder is set to feature in Thursday's first leg of the third qualifying round. Bell, speaking on the BBC's Scottish Football Podcast, noted that Raskin's experience playing for a top-tier club and his recent World Cup participation make him a valuable asset to the Rangers squad.
While Raskin had a brief stint off the pitch, Bell expressed confidence in his fitness, emphasizing that Rangers should expect the player to contribute to the match. The former Ibrox goalkeeper also pointed out that Raskin's inclusion in the team is significant, considering his recent transfer market movements, with Rangers signing Cammy Devlin and Vanja Dragojevic to bolster their central midfield.
Despite speculation surrounding Raskin's potential departure for a hefty fee, Bell urged the team to make the most of his current availability. Rangers face a crucial match against Jagiellonia Bialystok, aiming to reverse their poor season start and secure a positive result at Ibrox. Former teammate Andy Halliday further highlighted the team's motivation to improve following their 1-1 draw with Dundee United, attributing the recent signings, including winger Daisuke Yokota, to this renewed determination.
