Danny Rohl responded to that in his press conference ahead of Sunday’s derby by pointing out that Celtic have lost “seven or eight” league games and Rangers are currently ahead of them in the table.
Raskin though wasn’t interested in gettign in a slanging match with his rival midfielder.
“I don’t need to respond to that,” he said. “I just don’t care.”
“We just focus on ourselves. We just focus on what we want to do. And then we see on Sunday and that’s it. We just focus on preparing the game as much as we can. We go to the game, we know what we want to do.
“There’s no need to put pressure on us, saying ‘We are the best’. It’s just about who’s going to show it on the pitch and who’s going to win that game. That’s it.”
The Belgium international is looking forward to the powederkeg fixture and knows how crucial it could be for both teams’ seasons.
“We’re excited about going into this game. It’s a massive game for us,” he said. “We have been making sure our preparation is right, and we just can’t wait to be at the game.
“Obviously if you win the game, you get a boost of confidence. So yes, it’s a massive game. But like I said, after that, the next big game is also three points, and the next one is also three points.
“I think there’s going to be points dropped by both teams before the end of the season. Obviously, if you win the game, you get a boost of confidence. But again, it’s just about being calm. Sunday is three points.””
