- Oliver Antman came off the bench at Falkirk and made a goal instantly.
- Impressive cameo shows that the Finland international shouldn’t be counted out.
- Another encouraging signal that the squad is responding to each other.
Oliver Antman sent a timely reminder of his ability with an impressive late impact against Falkirk on Sunday.
The Finland international came into the game on 85 minutes and by 88, he put the ball on a plate for Bojan Miovski to complete the half dozen.
Not only did Antman set up the striker but it was his initial pass and rapid movement that created the opportunity.
Antman makes statement on return to the team
Oliver Antman last featured for Rangers in the recent 4-1 win over Aberdeen.
He wasn’t involved against Dundee United and prior to that, he only had two brief substitute appearances in February.
That has been the extent of Antman’s Rangers involvement in 2026.
In truth, injuries and a lack of momentum have resulted in the former Go Ahead Eagles player not being able to make a real impression under Danny Rohl.
That is the story so far, but it can change.
