Nico Raskin appears to have slipped entirely off the radar at Ibrox.
A month ago he was a £30m midfield star, about to take the World Cup by storm after lifting the SPFL Premiership trophy.
Since Friday there has been no news on Raskin other than registering his name as a trademark.
On Sunday he was missing from the team sheet against Celtic. After the match no questions were put to Rohl about the absent Belgian play-maker.
Yesterday Rohl faced the media, apparently to preview tonight’s dead rubber at home to Hibs.
Obviously there were plenty of questions on the fall-out from the defeat to Celtic, three-in-a-row for Rohl.
The former Sheffield Wednesday boss was also asked about James Tavernier.
DON’T MENTION NICO RASKIN
He brought up the need to bring in quality and leadership. And no-one present followed up by asking about Raskin.
It seems that there was no separate conference for newspapers. A few familiar newspaper voices were heard asking questions at the all in/broadcast conference.
Note: It is not smart to start a media conference with a childish smirk.
Off record it has been suggested that Raskin missed out against Celtic due to a muscle injury. No news of when this happened or when he will be back. Could his place in the Belgian World Cup squad could be in doubt?
Raskin has a bit of history for falling out with manager’s. Which is strange for a 24-year-old with no honours to his name. After more than three years at Ibrox.
At the start of this season Russell Martin was his target.
Now it seems that Rohl has fallen foul of the pint sized Belgian midfielder with the king sized attitude.
Fortunately there seems to be an embargo on the issue.
There are bigger issues currently at Ibrox but after all the hype the Raskin issue can’t be ignored.
Btw if the rumour about Rohl and Raskin having a fallout then I 100% support Nico.
Same as with Martin.
He no doubt voiced his anger at what was happening, and Rohl let his ego get in the way.
