adminJUST IN; Rangers to sanction blockbuster exit, but Danny Rohl can rest easy after win vs Queen’s Park
Ryan Naderi set the tone early against Queen’s Park, firing Rangers into the lead inside eight minutes before adding a second after the break to cap a clinical display.
Bojan Miovski and Tochi Chukwuani also found the net as the Light Blues delivered a commanding performance that could have important implications for their summer transfer plans.
Queen’s Park rarely troubled Rangers throughout the contest, with Nicolas Raskin watching on from the bench as the hosts dominated proceedings from start to finish.
Despite his non-involvement, the Belgian midfielder remains one of the standout performers at Ibrox in recent months and will be confident of forcing his way onto the international stage ahead of the 2026 World Cup.
Supporters in G51 are well aware of Raskin’s quality, and a move to a Champions League club appears increasingly likely.
His Sofascore numbers underline his growing influence, while his contract situation — which runs until 2028 — places Rangers in a strong position should they decide to cash in. With his reputation continuing to rise, especially if he shines on the World Cup stage, his market value could peak as early as this summer.
There were already hints last year that Rangers might be open to selling the 24-year-old, following reports of a disagreement with Russell Martin. How the situation develops at the end of the current campaign will be one to watch closely.
In the meantime, Rangers may already have an internal solution lined up. Winter signing Tochi Chukwuani, who arrived from Sturm Graz for around £4.3 million, looks every bit a player for the future.
The Denmark Under-21 international started against Queen’s Park and delivered a dominant performance alongside Mohamed Diomande in midfield.
Operating in the deeper pivot role, Chukwuani helped shut down any threat from the visitors as Rangers dictated the tempo throughout.
His display was capped with a deserved goal after some sharp combination play with Thelo Aasgaard, further highlighting his potential.
With Chukwuani settling quickly and showing real authority in midfield, Rangers boss Röhl may feel reassured that, should Raskin depart, a ready-made replacement is already taking shape at Ibrox.
