BETTER THE RED DEVIL YOU DON'T KNOW

Raskin introduces himself with shift to accompany Rom's scoring as Ger says: I've been waiting a while

ROMELU LUKAKU relit the flame with the Belgium fans after his latest Red Devils rescue act against Ukraine.

The Napoli star swaggered down the tunnel at full-time having lit up Genk's Luminous Arena by bagging goals No.87 and 88 in his 122nd cap to keep his country in the top tier of the Nations League.

It was proof, if any were needed, that there's plenty of life left in the old dog yet.

But it was a new boy in town, making his first start in behind the country's all-time record goalscorer, who moments earlier had the punters off their feet and looking forward to a bright future.

Nico Raskin could hardly have asked for a better introduction to top-level international football.

Thrust into Belgium's midfield next to Manchester City superstar Kevin De Bruyne, and with Rudi Garcia's side trailing 3-1 from the first leg of the play-off, the pressure was on.

This was no soft introduction for the Rangers midfielder. But anyone looking for an instant, quick-hit analysis of Raskin's full debut only had to look around the home sections of the crowd when he was replaced by Bryan Heynen with 89 minutes showing on the clock.
