Not yet, totally agree.
Surely wont move there the season before the World Cup. He needs to be playing every week. No chance of that at Celtic.

Luke McCowan has had close on 1400 minutes for Celtic this season. Understand he's a completely different player but I think he's a good enough to get plenty game time for a club like Celtic
Try telling that to Josef Juranovic I guess....
Josip Juranovic: The reason I had to leave Celtic - I didn’t like some of that stuff
A tug-of-war is brewing between Leeds United and Aston Villa for the signature of Rangers midfielder Nicolas Raskin this Summer. The Belgian international has become a key figure at Ibrox since his £6m move from Standard Liege in January 2023, quickly establishing himself as a fan favorite.
Raskin's move to Rangers was largely influenced by then-manager Michael Beale, and the 24-year-old has more than lived up to the expectations surrounding him. This season, he has arguably been Rangers' most consistent performer, contributing three goals and eight assists in 45 appearances.
Known for his ability to dictate the tempo of the game, Raskin primarily operates as a deep-lying playmaker. His tactical intelligence, impressive ball skills, excellent distribution, and vision make him a valuable asset in controlling the midfield. These qualities have understandably made him a popular figure amongst the Rangers faithful.
While Raskin is under contract at Rangers until 2027, the allure of Premier League football could prove tempting for the Belgian international, who has earned two international caps this year. Rangers are understandably reluctant to lose such a pivotal player, but the prospect of playing in England's top flight may be hard to resist.
only saw him a couple of times right enough but i don't think he's that good
The s*n reporting Martin Boyle is close to agreeing a new contract
Aston villa need to sell big time before the psr deadline in June or they'll be facing a points deduction, wouldn't surprise me in the slightest if they were looking at cheaper younger players on lower wages. They had the highest wages to turnover ratio in Europe last season.
I would be amazed if Triantis joins us permanently.
Think he is contracted to Sunderland for another two years. I may be wrong.
But given his age, how he has performed and that there will be a fair bit of interest I expect the fee will be around £2m+, which will blow us out of the water.
Unless Foley steps in.
There is absolutely no chance Triantis will be at Easter Road next season.
No inside info, just can see he'll get better offers elsewhere.
Hibs would have to offer close to a million quid with a hefty sell on fee. If it’s worth it meaning we get further European games and qualify for Europe again next season I think we should be bidding if gray thinks it’s pivotal for next season.
I could definitely see him coming for another year on loan.
If it's true what was said about his priority being getting in the Australia team and squad for next year's world cup then there aren't many places he's more likely to be able to enhance his chances than with us. Obviously there will be bigger clubs interested in him than us and he'll always back himself to make an impact anywhere he goes but there's a risk his world cup stuff dies a death by going somewhere then not playing. We're a safer option than that and if he plays and has a good world cup then the world is his oyster.
He's never joining us permanently, we need to deal with that, but I could easily see another loan next season being in the interests of all parties.
Could Triantis be signed by bournemouth and loaned back to us for a season or two? Exactly the kind of deal we should be getting with our tie in with them. And he is still only 21 so could be given a really good opportunity to develop and a clear pathway into EPL
I’m not sure Nick WILL have an international career.
Popovich brought him into the Oz squad to have a closer look at him, but it wasn’t lost on me that he wasn’t selected in the match day squad…meaning he wasn’t even on the bench, but in the stands for BOTH Oz’s games.
Popovic played Ryan Teague, a young Melbourne Victory player in what arguably would be the position Triantis would slot into…and has since publicly praised him.
There is an Oz squad camp scheduled for the end of May/beginning of June in Abu Dhabi, so I guess we’ll see then if he is still in the running.
If he doesn’t have an international career Fred all I can say is Australia must have some serious talent in midfield. I think Triantis has been outstanding and at 21 he’s got massive potential. Ryan Teague rings a bell for some reason wither I seen him play or you mentioned him before I can’t remember , one we should look at as an alternative to Triantis possibly? 🤔 .
I would be amazed if Triantis can't break into that squad eventually. Considering the general standard he's up against is A-League or MLS level lads with a Jackson Irvine in there I'd back Nectar to get himself in there within the next 6 months at best. It wasn't that long ago Keanu Baccus was playing World Cup games for them, I expect Triantis to be too.
