Raskin on the Brink as Rangers Move to Secure Kim — A Squad Reset Begins
Rangers are preparing a clear reset: Raskin is on the brink of an exit as the club edges closer to completing a deal for Kim. Sources inside Ibrox suggest the two moves are linked — freeing minutes and wages to bring in a different profile. This is a decisive window move rather than a stopgap, signalling a tactical tweak from the board and coaching staff.
Raskin's reduced role and a contract situation that limits long-term planning made him a likely departure; interest from multiple suitors has accelerated talks. Rangers see the sale as pragmatic business and a way to rebalance the roster for next season's demands. The club's recruitment is being surgical: clear one position and replace with targeted quality rather than wholesale change.
Kim is described by insiders as a technically gifted, creative South Korean who would supply the attacking impetus Rangers lack at present. Agreement in principle is reported, with a medical and final paperwork the remaining formalities — fees are believed to be structured with add-ons. Tactically, Kim gives Rangers more variety in advanced midfield zones and the potential to unlock stubborn defences.
The Guru's read is simple: expect Raskin out within days and Kim through the door shortly after, but do not expect instant miracles. Integration, system adjustments and a patient hand from the manager will be essential if the transfer is to justify the upheaval. My recommendation: complete the deal, but protect squad balance — keep a compact core and let Kim earn his place rather than force-fit him overnight.
