двойная "g" насколько я знаю всегда читается как "г"

There are two pronunciations for "ragged". It depends on the meaning.

The word "ragged" can mean "extremely tired", "burnt out".
Example: The kids are running me ragged.
In this case it would be pronounced "рагед".

The verb "to rag" can also mean "to give (somebody) a hard time", "to tease", "to torment", "to play jokes (on somebody)", etc.
Example: He ragged on me yesterday. He put red peppers in my lemonade.
In this case it would be pronounced "рагд".
