Writer for the Herald and Glasgow times, Christopher Jack believes that the club will get a deal 'done' for Gers transfer target Nicolas Raskin of Standard Liege. 

The Lowdown: Bid rejected

The Scottish Sun has reported that Michael Beale's side has had a bid rejected from Liege for the Belgian midfielder and he would cost the Scottish Premiership £1.5 million for a deal to be agreed upon.

Raskin's contract with the Jupiler Pro side runs out this year, meaning he could leave the club this summer as a free agent.

In Belgium's top flight, the midfielder has scored one goal and produced four assists so far this season.

The Latest: Not dead in the water

Jack spoke on the Rangers Review's YouTube channel about the potential transfer, and he claims that the deal would make sense for both clubs and believes a move to Ibrox will happen.

He stated (2:10), "He's a player that Rangers are interested in, he's a player that Rangers have now bid for and had a bid rejected for and that's where we're at, at present.

"I think a deal will get done, it seems to make sense for all parties for a deal to get done. Baskin wants to move, Rangers want to sign him.

"Liege are just looking to try and recoup as much as they can for a player who's out of contract and ultimately worth nothing to them and in the summer."

The Verdict: An injection of youth

We believe that Raskin would provide Rangers a boost in midfield, should the deal be completed by the end of the month.

In his homeland of Belgium, the midfielder received a rave review from the newspaper Het Belang van Limburg (via The Herald), where journalist Bob Faesen described him as 'technically gifted' and a 'real leader'.

This would be a welcome addition to the Gers central-midfield, as aside from Nnamdi Ofoborh they're lacking younger players in that, the remaining players in that position contains players aged 27 or older.

With Raskin being only 21-years-old, but playing like a player that's vastly more experienced, this could be enticing for Beale.

The Glasgow side has often brought in players they know they can sell for a much heftier price than they paid in the past, the same could be the case here if they were to land Raskin in January.
