Aasgaard set for Anderlecht switch as Rangers reject Raskin bid

Rangers midfielder Thelo Aasgaard is on the verge of a loan move to Anderlecht, while the Ibrox club have rejected a loan bid from Besiktas for Belgium midfielder Nicolas Raskin.

Aasgaard has scored one goal in five appearances this season but will now head to Brussels for a medical after Rangers accepted an offer for the Norway international.

It is unclear whether Anderlecht would hold an option to sign Aasgaard permanently or would be obliged to make the deal permanent.

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

Raskin 'as good as gold' amid Rangers transfer wait - McInnes

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

The 25-year-old has missed Rangers' past two matches amid transfer speculation, but manager Derek McInnes insisted Raskin 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."
