THE SPFL CHARGES RANGERS STAR THAT COULD COST HIS SEASON FOLLOWING INCIDENT VS ABERDEEN, THE FANS ARE DEMANDING ANSWERS

The Scottish football world has been thrown into chaos following the news that the SPFL has reportedly opened a disciplinary investigation into Rangers midfielder Nicolas Raskin. The Belgian star is facing potential “serious sanctions” that could see him sidelined for a significant portion of the season after a high-profile flashpoint during Sunday’s 2-0 victory over Aberdeen at Pittodrie.
​The incident, which occurred immediately after the final whistle, was captured by Sky Sports cameras and has since gone viral. Footage shows Raskin, who was being taunted by a section of the Aberdeen support near the tunnel, reacting by squirting water from a bottle directly onto a fan in the front row. The midfielder was seen smirking as he headed toward the dressing room, an act that sparked a furious reaction from the stands, with objects—including a cup—being hurled in his direction.
​Pundits have been quick to condemn the 24-year-old’s lack of discipline. Chris Sutton labeled the act an “absolute no-no,” while Kris Boyd noted that despite the provocation, there was “no need” for Raskin to retaliate. Under SPFL and SFA guidelines regarding “unacceptable conduct” and “bringing the game into disrepute,” the Belgian could face a multi-match ban. For Rangers, this represents a “nightmare scenario” as Raskin had only just become the tactical anchor of Danny Röhl’s midfield following the season-ending injury to Connor Barron.
​The Ibrox faithful are “demanding answers” from both the club and the league. While many supporters acknowledge Raskin’s mistake, they are pointing to the “vicious abuse” directed at teammate Bojan Miovski and the missiles thrown from the Pittodrie stands as proof of a double standard in the SPFL’s disciplinary focus. “Our player is being investigated for a water bottle while their fans are throwing coins and lighters at our staff,” one viral fan post argued.
​With Rangers already navigating a thin squad and a mounting injury list, losing Raskin to a long-term suspension could derail their title charge. As the SPFL gathers evidence, the pressure is on Danny Röhl to maintain order in a squad that is increasingly finding itself at the center of Scottish football’s most toxic controversies.
