GLASGOW, SCOTLAND - NOVEMBER 27: Nico Raskin of Rangers is seen at full time during the UEFA Europa League 2025/26 League Phase MD5 match between Rangers FC and SC Braga at Ibrox Stadium on November 27, 2025 in Glasgow, Scotland. (Photo by Ian MacNicol/Getty Images)
Nico Raskin wiped away another season of misery with a 13 minute appearance for Belgium in their 4-0 win over Tunisia.
All the hurt of being knocked out of two cup competitions to Celtic was cleared away.
The four match losing run that ended the SPFL Premiership challenge was gone.
The memories of Julian Araujo swinging on the Ibrox cross-bar to celebrate a Scottish Cup win for the Celtic Reserve side was wiped away by winning a friendly international match.
That is the view of Lewis Blaikie who has access to The Sun with the precise case of creating an audience.
Even the most deluded bears were hardly going to charge into George Square to damage statues, park benches and flower beds when news came through the Belgium had beaten Tunisia.
Or more importantly Sebastian Tounekti’s Tunisia because that was what really mattered. Take that Seb!

Blaikie’s Sun profile is hardly surprising, his task is to create engagement, it seems at any cost
In his role as an Audience journalist, he contributes to the TikTok page, with his videos racking up millions of views on the platform. He also ensures all the news and sport social media pages are kept updated, including Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and Threads.
With that task it seems that anything goes. Next up the £30m transfer race for Raskin/Manny Fernandez/Youssef Chermiti.
You might as well throw in Tottenham leading the chase for James Tavernier as well.
NICO RASKIN- THE SERIAL LOSER
Raskin arrived at Ibrox in January 2023 as part of a new dream team created by Micky Beale.
The Belgian world-beater was to team up with Todd Cantwell and create havoc across European football.
Three and a half years later Raskin hasn’t won a thing. At least Jack Butland and Ross McCausland won the 2023 League Cup.
Raskin was injured for the match, and also out of favour with Phil Clement.
The Gullible & Delude are expecting £30m plus bids to come in after starring for Belgium at the World Cup.
After ducking out of the last three SPFL matches any offer over £5m will be gladly accepted by Andy Cavenagh.
Score in a friendly or win a double? ? i know what i would want. How pathetic is this newspaper

Last laugh… pathetic journalism. Aye I’m sure that made up for the currant buns ending up trophyless… try harder

That makes up for Rangers losing 4/5 of the split games, bottling the league and Celtic winning a double then. Fair play Raskin…

He doesn’t really. His team finished 3rd in a 2 horse race after spending £40m, whilst the Celtic player picked up a league and cup double.
The PR machine in overdrive here ???

What has Rashonyourskin won in in Scottish football ? What has Arne won enough said.
He scores a goal against Fruin Street Stank Lifters and all of a sudden he is favourite for the Golden Boot at the Workd Cup.
Then they will up his value with bids starting at £100 million if anyone wants to show interest .
Watching us win the double totally broke these hacks
Just a thought but that wee mock-up of Nicholson and McKay in the Hoops kinda annoys me.
They don’t deserve to be portrayed as Celtic men, they’re a pair of incompetents who drain exorbitant amounts out of the coffers filled by a large number of working-class Tims in our support. They should perhaps be shown as robbers (in black and grey to reflect their character), which is nearer the mark, as they give us virtually nothing whilst drawing ridiculous wages.
Just a thought.
From little acorns grow mighty jokes
The reigning NBA champions, the Thunder have just made a $30m transfer bid for high flyer Nico Raskin to play in their basketball league. He’s also rumoured to have been selected for the Belgian Olympic team for the High Jump & Hurdles events in the Track and Field men’s tournament.
Julian Araujo upped the bar at Ibrox and has given little big man Nico a bonsai tree to climb up because his raised expectations didn’t develop as planted. Sevco played with the long-altitude all season and couldn’t acclimatise to the same exacting environment that the treemendous Evergreens adapt to. The late bloomer Best in Show Awards go once again to the greenfingers. The re-oranged acting Petunias blue their tops at the closing ceremony doing a floral dance, to the delight of the winners.
Aye – But, But, But… He never scored a fu**in DOUBLE…
I’ve drank plenty though !
