Return to Standard, starter with the Devils, his influence at Rangers: explanations of the evolution of Nicolas Raskin

An open investigation

“You need to stay above it.”commented former Rangers player Chris Boyd on Sky Sports, “the criticism will always be there. What Raskin did was unnecessary. You’ve won, the three points are in your pocket, the hardest part is done… you just have to get back on the bus quickly.”

“This type of behavior is absolutely unacceptable” ex-Celtic striker Chris Sutton said, “he deserves punishment for this, otherwise it will happen again.”

Will Raskin receive punishment? There is little chance given the precedents in the Scottish League but the Scottish police have still decided to open an investigation to understand the circumstances of the incident, according to the Scottish Sun.
