It was important for us to play our game, says Raskin

Nico Raskin says Rangers must continue to work hard and use their 3-0 win against St Mirren as a building block as they will need to kick on after the international break.

The 22-year-old provided the assist for the second goal, picking out Abdallah Sima, who finished first time for his eighth goal of the season.

“We are happy, it has been a tough time, we have had a lot of injuries and coming here they were on a good run so I think we played a good game, we scored nice goals so we can only be happy," he told Rangers website., external

“It was important for us to show energy, to play our game and to try to run behind the defence because they were following the strikers quite a lot. We tried to give a different performance to what we did in Cyprus because that wasn't really us so now, we just have to go on and do something good after the international break.”

The Belgian, who returned from injury this week, is happy to be back on the pitch after a "frustrating" few weeks.

“I am feeling good, I am a bit tired, but I am feeling ok," he added. "It has always been the plan to make my injury as short as I can. We were speaking about three weeks but I came back after two, so it was good.

“I am a bit tired now after two games in one week because I haven’t trained as much but it is good to be back, it was a frustrating time being injured.”
