Career
In June 2022, Nsio joined Rangers from London club Lambeth Tigers, as part of five new players for the under-18 team.[1] He was one of three of those players to come from the English capital, and was described in The Athletic as "a flair player whose rangy physique means he can go box-to-box".[2]
On 30 August 2022, Nsio was one of three 16-year-olds to make their first-team debuts as late substitutes for Rangers in a 3–1 home win over Queen of the South, as the club made it to the quarter-finals of the Scottish League Cup.[3] He came on for the final two minutes in place of Fashion Sakala, under the management of Giovanni van Bronckhorst.[4]
With the Rangers B Team, Nsio took part in the Scottish Challenge Cup. He scored the equaliser on 30 July 2024 as the team won 3–1 at home to Bo'ness United in the first round.[5] The following 26 January, he made his Scottish Premiership debut in a win by the same score away to Dundee United, coming on in the last minute for Nedim Bajrami.[6]
On 12 September 2025, Nsio signed a new two-year contract with Rangers, and was loaned for the rest of the season to Raith Rovers in the Scottish Championship.[7] He was an unused substitute for seven games due to a lack of fitness, before making his debut on 1 November in a 1–1 home draw with Greenock Morton.[8] In his sixth game on 13 December, he scored his first professional goal in a 6–0 win over Ross County at Stark's Park.[9]
Personal life
Born in England, Nsio is of DR Congolese descent and holds dual-citizenship.[10]
