Nicolas Raskin's Rangers exit to accelerate after absence confirmed - verdict Nicolas Raskin will surely move on from Rangers in the coming days. The Belgian emerged as a standout player for the Gers in recent years, and attention only increased after an impressive World Cup. Derek McInnes has been candid about the interest in the Ibrox midfielder, hinting that a departure was on the cards The 55-year-old has commented on Raskin's future once again ahead of the second-leg of the UEFA Europa Conference League play-off with Jablonec. Now, it looks like developments are going to accelerate after what has been said. What did Derek McInnes say about Nicolas Raskin's future? It looked as though Raskin was going to miss out against the Czech side, as he was not spotted boarding the team flight to Prague. McInnes has confirmed that it the case, when speaking in his pre-match press conference. He said: "Nico Raskin has not travelled; he is not injured, but interest has been high and has stepped up in recent weeks." That suggests that an exit is closer than ever and that the Bears will receive a cash injection shortly. What's next for Rangers after Raskin exit? The Gers have to receive a bid for the Belgian star before they can take action. So far, they have not had any offers worth considering, but that may change the later in the window that we get. McInnes must ensure that it is not too late, though, as that will leave little time to secure a replacement. While the Bears have added Vanja Dragogevic, Cammy Devlin and Dan Neil, they may feel like they need more midfield depth. The Light Blues will also want to spend the money in the final knockings of the window, and push themselves closer to Celtic and Hearts. If they leave it too late to sell Raskin, they may not get the opportunity to splash the cash, and put themselves in the best possible position to win something, after a mixed start to the campaign. That can't happen, so there must be movement on the issue in the coming days.
