Nicolas Raskin has "been good as gold" despite no signs of a transfer from Rangers and the Belgium midfielder's absence from their latest two match-day squads, manager Derek McInnes has stressed.
The 25-year-old was widely expected to be sold after starring at the World Cup, but there have been no bids yet that have piqued Rangers' interest.
Raskin signed a four-and-a-half-year contract when he joined the Scottish Premiership club from Standard Liege in January 2023.
"Nico's been first-class since he came back from the World Cup - he's been good as gold, he's trained brilliantly," McInnes insisted on Sky Sports as he looked forward to Wednesday's visit to Falkirk.
