It wasn’t easy or pleasant but Nico Raskin watched all the same. The Rangers new boy stood on the Hampden turf a couple weeks back and took it all in as Celtic lapped up their Viaplay Cup triumph.
Not because he didn’t share the deep disappointment of the Ibrox faithful who had leapt from their seats and darted for the exits the second the full-time whistle blew.
But because he wants to have those painful memories to hand whenever things get tough in the next few weeks. The young Belgian knows he’s going to have to dig deep to help drag Rangers back to the top.
But having sampled just how bitter the taste of defeat is in Glasgow, he’s determined to ensure he never has to go through the experience again.
