What happened. Nicolas Raskin has admitted he was disappointed not to secure a move away from Rangers during the transfer window, having mentally prepared to leave Glasgow after three-and-a-half years. Despite late interest from Besiktas, no deal went through and the Belgian has had to accept staying put.

• Raskin says he was 'mentally ready to leave' Rangers this summer.
• Besiktas showed late interest and an agreement was almost reached.
• He has since become a key man in Rangers' upturn in form.

“It is a bit of a disappointment, because I was mentally ready to leave”

— Nicolas Raskin

Raskin now focuses on Rangers, where back-to-back wins over Celtic have turned their season around.
