    Raskin playing up to the gallery for extra ‘staunch points’ when things inevitably go wrong…

    TheRangers players and management team are well known to be sore losers, but it seems that they also like to have a whine even when they win.

    Second coming of Andres Iniesta

    In particular Nico Raskin the new darling of the SMSM and a player theRangers supporters would have you believe is the second coming of Andres Iniesta.

    Raskin who was the stand in skipper for the Ibrox club yesterday had a public go at referee Don Robertson for cautioning him, and not caution our own Callum McGregor which would have meant an ordering off for our own skipper right after the half time whistle.

    The flash point occurred when the Belgian snapped at something Calmac said and raised his hands as grabbed our skipper by the shirt. Calmac didn’t even retaliate and just laughed at the raging Belgian as he was rightly cautioned by the referee.

    Right call by the referee

    Why would Callum McGregor even be booked when he done nothing wrong? It was the right call by the referee who is now wrongly being made out the villain by both Raskin and The SMSM.

    All the player is doing is playing to the gallery to earn more ‘staunch points’ when things inevitably go wrong. Nothing less.

      Raskin doesn’t understand the rules of football. You can’t get a player sent off for you grabbing his shirt and him laughing at you. What a dud.

      That horrible little shitebag, likes to portray himself as the hard man, and the Hun scum hoards and cheerleaders, will lap it all up?
      Course it’s to be expected that captain courageous is going to get floated around now, so will be interesting to see how captain disappointed and butterfingers handle, having there noses put out of joint now?
      If this is going to be the new scum superstar, we still haven’t got anything to be concerned about imo?
