National media praises Rangers player after Olympiakos game | OneFootball

Rangers picked up a crucial point in the Europa League away from Ibrox on Thursday night against Olympiakos.

The Gers came from behind to secure a 1-1 draw against the Greek giants and move onto seven points.

This has been a brilliant week for Scottish clubs. Celtic won 3-1 against RB Leipzig in the Champions League, and Rangers have picked up a point against a strong side in a hostile environment.

Cyriel Dessers scored the equaliser with a brilliant effort that involved a dummy after Ayoub El Kaabi gave the home side the lead in the second half.

There were some strong performances from several Gers players, including Nicolas Raskin.

Nicolas Raskin was superb agaisnt Olympiakos

The Scottish press praised the 23-year-old midfielder. The Daily Record gave him an 8/10 rating and described his performance as ‘superb’.

They are absolutely spot-on with their assessment. When the Belgian midfielder first arrived, he was expected to make a huge impact at Ibrox, but that didn’t happen.

He has only shown glimpses of his quality sporadically, and there was a lack of continuity, which has frustrated everyone.

Rangers fans hope that he will now discover his true potential and will continue to produce such performances on a regular basis.

The midfielder had 81 touches and played 55 passes. He had a 75 percent passing accuracy rate.

He helped his teammates out defensively by making seven tackles and four interceptions. He also made one clearance and blocked one effort.

Raskin committed five fouls, won three aerial duels and eight ground duels, and made four key passes.
