Sunday was a very painful evening for all of the Supervisors compromise, and an Ibrox side defeated by fierce opposition Celtic in the League Cup Final in a very sad way.

Needless to say, Glasgow's big two caused a stir.

Nedim Bajrami fired the Light Blues ahead on the stroke of half-time at Hampden, only for Celtic to lead 2-1 and then 3-2 in the second half, but Mohamed Diomande was next. Danilo hit back, the latter with a header moments later after his team fell behind.

This forced extra time, and eventually, a penalty shootout; just the second shot at the Glasgow derby history.

Nine of the ten races were scored, but one missed and one stayed Ridvan Yilmazhis effort was calmly saved by Kasper Schmeichel, meaning it was Celtic who lifted the trophy again.

From Philippe ClementThe point is, Celtic would still have won you try six timesbut there are signs that his team is moving in the right direction, and making the next one Premier The Old Firm fixture at Ibrox as soon as January 2nd is very important.

The Rangers players are starting to show their best

Of course, Sunday's shootout defeat was devastating, but it was another sign of progress from the Rangers.

Three days earlier, he did Tottenham Hotspur to 1-1 in the game Europa Leagueunfortunately he did not achieve that, having scored nine goals in successive Premiership victories against Kilmarnock and Ross County previously.

The reason for the Gers' recent restart is the exit of Hamza Igamane.

The shooter came from AS FAR in his native Morocco for £2.5m last summerhaving few results before opening his account against FCSB at the end of October, before scoring five out of five between 28 November and 12 December, picking up the bag against Nice, before spoiling the time Spurs visited Govan last Thursday.

The return of Ianis Hagi has attracted much attention, since the last four home gamesregistering two assists in the demolition of Killie earlier this month.

This season's top scorer Vaclav Cerny, who has nine goals to his namehe has also received a lot of praise, but there is another Rangers player, perhaps flying under the radar, who could be the club's most valuable asset.

Ranger's next big sale could be right there

Nicholas Raskin he arrived at the Rangers from Standard Liège for £1.75m in January 2023, formulating 67 in Light Blue so far, his only goal for the club, so far, came in the 4-0 demolition of Hibs last October.

According to SofascoreThe Belgian is Rangers' seventh-highest scorer this season, despite being rated seven or more in three of his last four Europa League games, and in seven of his last.

Raskin is clearly a man of form, so could he command a huge fee, leaving Glasgow in 2025?

As you can see, since Rangers returned to the Scottish Premiership in 2016, they have sold just six players for £2.5m or more, Calvin Bassey, Nathan Patterson and Joe Arbo the only men to leave for £10m.

In the same period, Celtic have sold seven players for £10m+: Matt O'Riley, Jota, Kieran Tierney, Moussa Dembélé, Odsonne Édouard, Kristoffer Ajer and Jeremie Frimpong leaving for £138.5m.

If Rangers want to compete with their city rivals, something Clement says he can't afford at the momentthey need to start selling players to get more profit.

Major players from Steven Gerrard's title winning campaign such as Borna Barisic, Connor GoldsonRyan Kent, and Alfredo Morelos are both free to go, or less moneywhich does not allow the Gers to refinance.

So, they need to find those players and maybe Raskin could be the man for the job. Rangers legend Kris Boyd wrote Raskin as "amazing" against Tottenham last week, adding that "it was a very good performance from Rangers".

The numbers certainly told an interesting story. Against elite midfielders such as James Maddison and Rodrigo Bentancur, the 23-year-old had the most impact (76) and passes (49) for all Gers players, showing how talented they are. Like Glasgow World reporter Lewis Anderson saidhe was 'the best player on the park against Tottenham'.

His stock continues to rise, so could he leave for a bigger profit?
