HERO RASKIN COMING GOOD IN NIC OF TIME

Little Belgian playmaker could be crucial for Gers in the title run-in

LAST KICK CRACKER Tavernier

AT the start of the season, his previous manager painted him as an Ibrox villain.

But by the end of it, there's still a chance Nico Raskin could be a Rangers hero.

The Belgian was instrumental in this vital victory, scoring the decisive third goal in a thumping win.

Raskin also had a hand in Tochi Chukwuani's opener as Gers kept up the pressure on Hearts at the top.

Earlier in the campaign, Raskin was banished from the first-team by ex-boss Russell Martin who broke silence on his Rangers exit this week.

But for Danny Rohl, Raskin is now a key player. And if Rangers are going to emerge as champions in May, he's likely to play a massive part.

His pass started the move for Chukwuani's first-half strike before Mikey Moore made it 2-0 after the interval.

Dennis Geiger gave Stephen Robinson's men hope when he took advantage of slackness in the home defence to score.

But when Rangers needed to kill off the Dons, it was Raskin who fired the crucial third goal on 63 minutes.

His volley from inside the box secured the points and kept them on the coattails of the league leaders.

In the last minute, ex-Don Bojan Miovski had a goal against his old side ruled out after VAR ruled that Connor Barron had handled.
