doesn’t have much to choose from, however, there was a welcome return for a player who was out in the cold last season.on his 15 minute cameo in the Old Firm knowing that reclaiming his place in starting XI isn’t far behind.
Raskin brought and energy and bravery to a midfield that had shown neither before his introduction.
This is a bit harsh on Connor Barron who had at least looked to try and get his team up the park.
As for Dujon Sterling and Mohamed Diomande, the post game analysis won’t be quite so kind.
It’s worth remembering just how far out of the picture Raskin was
“He started really well and played the first game [after I was appointed] and scored. He was one of our best players that day.
Afterwards he got an injury and was out for a longer time and then there became more competition in the midfield. We have a lot of guys who did a lot of good things and Nico is among them, with Lunny (John Lundstram) the stable factor all the time.
“Kieran Dowell did good things in midfield, Tom Lawrence in the number eight role, Dio came in, Dujon Sterling did good things – so there’s a lot of competition. It’s not that Nico is doing things bad now or not good. No. He’s working really hard.
“I see him evolving also. He’s better than when I saw him in October. He is a better player. But there is more competition also. That’s what you need in a top team to perform and to win a lot of games.”
