Scottish Premiership Deadline Day: Nicolas Raskin, Tony Watt, Ethan Erhahon and more feature in our round-up | Football News

[ad_1]

Rangers sealed the signing of Nicolas Raskin on Deadline Day after Celtic completed their business early in the January transfer window.

Raskin, 21, who has scored once in 18 games this season for Standard Liege, signed for an undisclosed fee in a long-term contract being Michael Beale’s second signing after the arrival of Todd Cantwell.

He is one of the manager’s main targets during this transfer window and it is understood Rangers cannot compete with a number of clubs across Europe for the player.

It’s about departure for Celtic with Oliver Abildgaard’s loan canceled when he joined Hellas Verona during the season.

The Danish midfielder made just nine appearances for Ange Postecoglou’s side after joining in the summer and the arrival of Tomoki Iwata pushed him further out of the picture.

Ajax goalkeeper Jay Gorter has signed on loan to compete with fellow Dutchman Kelle Roos, who is currently injured, and Joe Lewis.
