A RANGERS star has committed more fouls than any other player in the Europa League this season.
The ball-winning midfielder has committed as many as 29 fouls in 11 matches – seven more than the next closest player, FCSB’s Mihai Popescu.Belgium star Nico Raskin is the man who tops the chart in the competition following last night’s 0-0 draw with Athletic Bilbao.
Raskin has played in every Europa League clash since Gers kicked off the league phase with a 2-0 away win over Malmo in September.
He was on the bench for that game and the following tie against Lyon but the 24-year-old hasn’t missed a minute of action in Europe since.
Remarkably the midfielder has only received two yellow cards despite the high number of fouls, and both were handed to him in stoppage time against Olympiacos and Union Saint-Gilloise.It’s no surprise the physical and aggressive centre-mid is the player who takes the rather unwanted crown in the Rangers squad.
But Raskin has committed a crazy amount when you compare it to the next closest midfielder – Peer Koopmeiners of AZ and brother of Juventus star Teun.
The 24-year-old is NINE behind the Gers ace and has actually played one more game than him.
Raskin also finds himself very high up in other similar key aspects of the game.
