A Rangers fan has revealed a new tattoo after making an online promise, which was noticed by Celtic Park goal scorer Nico Raskin.
The cheeky fan made a pre-match vow that he would get Raskin’s name tattooed on his behind if the Belgian midfielder scored and Rangers won the match. And it’s safe to say the tattoo may have caused a bit of discomfort!
On Saturday, the fan posted on X (formerly Twitter), saying: “If Raskin scores on Sunday and we win, I am getting his name tattooed on my a**e (will post proof afterwards).”
The following day, Raskin came through with an early header that opened the scoring, leading Rangers to a victory at Parkhead, their first at Celtic’s ground in five years.
During the celebrations, Raskin, who was named man of the match, saw the fan’s tweet and responded with a pair of eyes and a laughing emoji.
The fan, whose account name is a tribute to Raskin, knew he had to keep his promise and replied: “Nicolas, why did you have to do this to me?”
Other Rangers fans quickly chimed in, insisting he follow through with the tattoo.
One said: “He can’t back down now!”
And he didn’t. Throughout Monday, the fan posted updates as he made his way to the tattoo studio, telling his followers: “Away to see if any tattoo shops are doing walk-ins today for this daft Raskin tattoo.”
Later, he shared a photo from inside the studio at 5:37 pm as proof he was going through with the tattoo.
Just over three hours later, he shared another picture with the completed tattoo, which read simply: “Raskin x.” The fan, though revealing his tattoo, chose to cover his face for modesty.
He captioned the post: “Our Belgian King @n_raskin (someone take my phone off me during old firm weekends man).”
Fans praised his commitment, commenting: “Well played, Sir. A man of your word.”
Another added: “Can’t wait for your next prediction/bet against yourself at the fitba.”
But the newly-inked fan wasn’t finished yet. He responded: “I’m thinking if we win the Europa League I get the starting 11 on my back,” and shared an image of a Dutch fan with a full pitch tattoo.
The fan later expressed his gratitude, saying: “On a real note, fair play and many thanks to @wullie__1 for paying for the tattoo. I was sceptical at first, but the man offered and pulled through. Big up Rossco at Anubis Tattoo Greenock, follow his Instagram.”
