Raskin enjoying run in favoured position

Nico Raskin is enjoying getting a run in his favoured position, having started Rangers' past 10 games.

A pre-season injury had curtailed the Belgian midfielder's early season involvement, but he is now firmly part of Philippe Clement's starting XI.

"I think I'm playing where I wanted to play now," Raskin said before Sunday's Scottish Premiership meeting with Ross County in Dingwall.

"Since I came, it's maybe the first time I get a run in the number six position. That's where I enjoy the most playing."

Raskin sought to manage his weight better while he was trying to avoid a repeat of recent injuries - losing up to three stone - and has been aided by the club's chefs in having nutritious meals prepared.

"It's just better for me," he explained.

"I've never really had injuries before and when I came I had four injuries in one and a half years."

After Sunday's game, Rangers host former Celtic manager Ange Postecoglou's Tottenham side in the Europa League on Thursday then take on Premiership leaders Celtic in the League Cup final the following Sunday.

"It's a big week, a very exciting week," Raskin said. "We need to put on a good performance against Ross County away."
