Rangers could potentially have the opportunity to cash in on Nico Raskin amid interest from the Premier League.
The 24-year-old has gone from strength to strength in the last year, making his debut for the Belgium national team.
Raskin has emerged as a target for Wolves recently, and it wouldn’t be surprising to see him move down south in the coming weeks.
With the ex-Standard Liege star’s current contract at Ibrox expiring in 2027, the Glaswegian outfit have a massive decision on their hands before the end of August.

The Light Blues’ former interim manager was highly impressed by the Belgian national during their time together at Ibrox.
With the 24-year-old being eyed by teams down south, the ex-Scotland international believes the midfielder can comfortably play in the Premier League.
Raskin signed for the Gers for £1.32m, plus add-ons, in January 2023.
The Belgian star struggled for game time initially.
Last season, the midfielder scored five goals and provided 11 assists.
Speaking on Go Radio, as relayed by the Daily Record (8 August), Ferguson said: “Nico can play in the Premier League all day long. I worked with him for three months. He has all the attributes and is still at a brilliant age. He still has some things he needs to tidy up on, but he understands that. He’s got an opinion, which I liked.
“He’s really interested and keen to learn. All day long, he can play in the Premier League. Now, Rangers have got to be looking for big money for Nico. I am looking at £15m at least for Nico.”

Russell Martin already has Raskin’s replacement at Rangers
Russell Martin dropped Raskin from the starting lineup in the 3-0 win over Viktoria Plzen in the UEFA Champions League on 5 August.
The Belgium international was one of the senior players axed by the 39-year-old head coach after an underwhelming display at Fir Park against Motherwell.
With the Scottish manager preferring Joe Rothwell in the number six position, the 24-year-old has played in a much more advanced role than last season, and has struggled a bit.
Lyall Cameron stood out for Rangers at Ibrox in the first leg of the European tie against Plzen and deserves to continue in the starting lineup.

Cameron’s Scottish Premiership record last season, as per FotMob.
The former Dundee midfielder seems like the perfect replacement for Raskin after joining the Gers on a pre-contract this summer.
Therefore, Martin may not need to look far if Kevin Thelwell decides to cash in on the Belgian national at the Glaswegian outfit.
While the 24-year-old will definitely be missed if he leaves, the Light Blues have an opportunity to make a significant profit from his sale.
