Nico Raskin is Rangers biggest loser as Belgian banishes extra pounds and injuries with help of Ibrox chef

dailyrecord.co.uk:

Rangers went from famine to feast on Wednesday night as the shot-shy Ibrox line-up finally dined out on a gluttony of goals.The Light Blues legions gorged themselves on a free-scoring performance in the 6-0 win over Kilmarnock as Philippe Clement’s men at long last satisfied their hunger in the final third.

But one man you won’t find overindulging now at Ibrox is midfielder Nico Raskin. The little Belgian has learned his lesson on that front after admitting his choice of diet had played a part in the injury frustrations that have dogged his time in Glasgow.But having hired one of the club’s chefs to take a look at his scran habits, Raskin reckons he is now living proof that you are what you eat.

With a carefully-chosen menu serving up only the most appropriate grub, mixed in with a switch back to his preferred slot in front of Clement’s back four, Raskin is again looking like the lean, mean midfield dominator Gers thought they were getting when Michael Beale splashed out £1.3million to sign the 23-year-old in January 2023.“I'm playing where I’ve wanted to play now,” said the former Standard Liege ace. “Since I came, this is the first time I’ve had a run in the No.6 position, where I enjoy playing the most.

If I can stay fit, I can continue trying to build on those performances.“I was asking myself questions at the time (I was sidelined) because I've never really been injured before.
