- Nico Raskin praises Danny Rohl in new interview
- Midfielder impressed with second-half performance in Falkirk rout
- Belgian should use manager’s mindset ahead of final five games
Nico Raskin has heaped praise on Danny Rohl’s management in an exclusive interview with The Rangers Review.
The Belgian, who was an outcast during Russell Martin’s tenure, talks about how refreshing Rohl has been with his calm and composed mindset.
The midfielder also spoke of the confidence in the dressing room because of the manager.
That can also be applied to Raskin after his performance in the nine-goal thriller against Falkirk as Rangers look to be relishing their title charge.
Rohl’s mindset is the key for Raskin to build on Falkirk display
Raskin’s performance in midfield was a crucial part of Rangers’ recovery as they put Falkirk to the sword in a breathtaking second-half.
The Belgian’s goal was his third in three league games and the challenge for Raskin now is to build on that ahead of the split.
Raskin’s comments on Rohl shows that the midfielder could do no wrong in adopting the German’s mantra of keeping calm and carry on.
In talking about how the manager “always tries to have this smile and be positive” is exactly what Raskin should do.
It is evident that Rohl’s nature is rubbing off on the players and has been a massive part in their revival and the Belgian should use that to his advantage.
Raskin has fellow teammate for inspiration as World Cup looms
The midfielder also commends Rohl for the confidence he has instilled in the likes of Mikey Moore and Manny Fernandez.
And it is the Nigerian’s exploits on the international stage that should inspire the 25-year-old ahead of the summer tournament.
Fernandez is a prime example of how confidence and belief playing under your manager can translate internationally.
So, if Raskin builds on what he produced against Falkirk in the split and leaves for Belgium on a high, it could be the springboard he needs for the World Cup.

If Raskin continues to impress then naturally ears will be pricked at the mention of the 25-year-old.
Even more so in the scenario that Raskin is wearing a Premiership medal round his neck.
However, if Raskin’s comments are to go by, would he want to leave?
As more players speak out, it is clear they enjoy working for Rohl and long may that continue.
Nico Raskin is firmly onboard the Danny Rohl train ahead of the final five matches.
The Falkirk performance is showing signs that the midfielder is producing the goods at the crucial stage.
And a successful end to the season will only elevate Raskin’s profile ahead of what could be a career defining summer.
He is enjoying working under the German coach, who appears to be getting the best out of the midfielder.
If Raskin can find consistency, the rest will take care of itself. That destination will be a mutual benefit for the player and club.
