Oliver Antman ruled out until 2026 – He could miss these 13 games for Rangers
Danny Rohl has revealed that Oliver Antman has suffered a hip injury, which may keep him out for a whopping 13 Rangers games.
The Bears haven’t had the best luck with injuries recently, as Derek Cornelius and John Souttar are both currently sidelined, leaving them extremely short at the back.
Cornelius could be out until January, while there are hopes that Souttar will return in December, with Bailey Rice also unlikely to be available until the new year.
Antman hasn’t hit the ground running at Rangers, and the latest update comes as both a big blow to himself but also the Bears.
Danny Rohl says Oliver Antman is out for eight weeks
Antman was brought to Glasgow in a deal that could rise to £5m from GA Eagles, but add-ons look unlikely to be met at this rate.
Ahead of the Rangers’ clash against Dundee United on Wednesday, Rohl explained Antman’s abductor issue, which will prevent him from playing in crucial upcoming matches.
Rohl said, as quoted by the Glasgow Times: “Oli is out for eight weeks with a hip injury.”
The former Go Ahead Eagles forward will surely be devastated by the news, as he is eager to show his true quality sooner rather than later.
Rangers are going to need all the players they can get heading into a busy winter period, but the 13 games that Antman may miss make for grim reading.
All the games Antman could miss
Eight weeks on from when the news was broken over Antman, takes us to 27 January.
This means the earliest he could return will be Gers’ match against Porto on 29 January.
| Game | Date |
| Dundee United vs Rangers | 3 December |
| Kilmarnock vs Rangers | 6 December |
| Ferencvaros vs Rangers | 11 December |
| Rangers vs Hibernian | 15 December |
| Hearts vs Rangers | 21 December |
| Rangers vs Motherwell | 27 December |
| Rangers vs St. Mirren | 30 December |
| Celtic vs Rangers | 3 January |
| Rangers vs Aberdeen | 6 January |
| Aberdeen vs Rangers | 11 January |
| Rangers vs Ludogorets Razgrad | 22 January |
| Rangers vs Dundee FC | 25 January |
| FC Porto vs Rangers | 29 January |
Given the forward will need to get back to full fitness after he’s allowed back on grass, it could be a lot longer until he starts again for the Gers.
It’s just another reason why the 49ers desperately need to have signings ready to be made come January.
