After his exertions against Raith Rovers on Sunday Nicolas Raskin is an injury doubt for tomorrow’s match against Motherwell.
Since being ditched to the bench for the Viaplay Cup Final defeat to Celtic the profile of the Belgian play-maker has gone through the roof.
Raskin and Todd Cantwell are expected to tear Celtic a new one on April 8 but the new look midfield might not be in action tomorrow at Fir Park.
Discussing injuries, Micky Beale told the Glasgow Times:
Nico has a slight issue, he missed training [on Thursday]. Other than that, Malik has had another week Souts (John Souttar) has had another week.
We’ll have to leave a couple out. With Nico we’ll see how he is [on Friday]. He had a bit of an issue with his quad after the game the other day, but we don’t think it is anything major.
It is touch and go [for the weekend]. We’ll see [on Friday] and if there is any risk it will be a no, but at the moment it is quite promising that he will be OK.
Raskin was on the park for the full 90 plus minutes against Raith.
What…. Micheal Beale is lying “never” . We should get used to the SMSM trivial stories “lies” . As there is a real story that the SMSM have been told NOT to get involved in. That is “the rangers” manager has accused the “the rangers board and other members of staff are “negligent” by NOT offering (contracts). Which is a bit strange because we have been told that the “contract rebels” are still holding out ????? so who’s lying is it the serial liar Beale or the board and other members of staff who deal with contracts. Mmmmm or maybe they are all lying. The SMSM,the “the rangers” board, and “the rangers” manager Beale
Raskin might have been too vigorous while combing his hair ! That could lead to another long term catastrophic injury ….
