Nico Raskin is OUT of Rangers ’ squad for the Old Firm derby against Celtic after showdown talks with gaffer Russell Martin. ‌

As it stands right now, Record Sport understands the Belgian international won’t play any part against Brendan Rodgers ’ side - despite being fully fit and available. ‌

Under-pressure Martin refused to confirm at his pre-match press conference whether Raskin would feature or not. ‌

After Record Sport revealed on Thursday night that the 24-year-old’s place was under threat, Rangers sources then claimed he was carrying an injury from Wednesday night’s Champions League defeat to Club Brugge.

Martin now says he’s fit ahead of the Celtic clash. But we understand Raskin trained away from the rest of the first-team in the build-up to the derby.
