Overview

• Russell Martin confirmed Nicolas Raskin will not be in the squad for Saturday’s Premiership match against Hearts at Ibrox.
• Martin said Raskin has rejoined first-team training after Belgium duty and that issues are resolved, but his selection depends on reestablishing trust within the group.
• Raskin was previously omitted for the Celtic draw and a Viktoria Plzen qualifier when the manager felt speculation about his future had affected him.
• Rangers are still seeking a first league win under Martin after four draws and returned from the break in seventh place.
• Martin expressed confidence in a stronger post-window squad, with Youssef Chermiti and Derek Cornelius available to make debuts this weekend.
