Aasgaard makes Anderlecht switch as Rangers reject Raskin bid

Rangers midfielder Thelo Aasgaard has completed a £1m loan move to Anderlecht, while the Scottish Premiership club have rejected a loan bid from Besiktas for Belgium international Nicolas Raskin.

Aasgaard has scored one goal in five appearances this season but will spent the rest of this season in Belgium, with Anderlecht having the option to sign the Norway international for £5m next summer.

Signed from Luton in 2025, the 24-year-old Rangers contract runs until 2029.

Meanwhile, Raskin has been consistently linked with a move away from Glasgow after impressing during the World Cup, but Besiktas' offer was rejected.

And the 25-year-old made his return to the Ibrox midfield in the win at Falkirk on Wednesday, taking the captain's armband in the closing stages.

Raskin had missed Rangers' past two matches amid transfer speculation, but manager Derek McInnes insisted he has been "good as gold" during that period.

"Until an offer comes in that the club need to consider, Nico just has to knuckle down and train," McInnes said earlier this week.

"I've no doubts that, if the window closes and Nico's still a Rangers player, he'll give brilliant service as he's done previously.

"He's getting interest because he's a good player. I want to work with good players. We just needs to wait and see how things develop."
