With even Russell Martin losing interest in him the Daily Record has decided that Nico Raskin has a £25m price tag.

Despite all the hype and spin there hasn’t been a single offer made for the midfielder on the back of a dozen decent performances at the turn of the year.

Raskin moved to Ibrox in January 2023 as Micky Beale created a dream team midfield pairing with Todd Cantwell, more than two years later the pint sized Belgian has still to pick up his first winners medal.

Jack Butland and Cantwell have all gone through the same cycle of hype and speculation only to finish the transfer window stuck at Ibrox disillusioned ad demotivated.

The funniest example was when Alfredo Morelos was getting an improved contract every year on the back of fake news, when his deal expired it took him five months to find a club in Brazil prepared to offer a contract.

Going through the same cycle the Record reports:

Rangers have reportedly slapped a £25million price tag on Nicolas Raskin this summer.

Wolves are among the clubs who have been closely tracking the Belgian international throughout the summer.

Boss Russell Martin left the midfielder out of the starting line up for the recent win over Viktoria Plzn and draw with Dundee, claiming the 24-year-old’s head had been turned by transfer speculation.

Martin has signed Thelo Aasgaard and Joe Rothwell while inheriting Lyall Cameron who arrived as a free agent from Dundee with his fee still to be set.

Raskin has been edged aside into his favoured position as bench warmer with a desperate push underway by the 49GERS to shift players out of the club with just Robin Propper and Ross McCausland from last season’s contracted players moving on.

NOTE: There is very limited demand for a 5 foot 7 midfielder that averages three goals a season.

When a six year stretch at the Sunday Mirror came to an end it was clear that the future was digital, print had ran its race.

Smart phones and social media created a new landscape, Video Celts has certainly made an impact with Joe described as having an unhealthy obsession by Peter Lawwell at the 2024 Celtic AGM. A priceless endorsement.

There are issues breaking around the clock, no two days are the same. More than 50 years on from his first match Joe is enjoying the ongoing successes of Celtic.
