Rangers: Oliver Antman’s contract examined after failed Ibrox transfer
Rangers flop Oliver Antman has failed to impress since signing from Go Ahead Eagles.
The Finnish international was a highly anticipated signing from the Netherlands in the summer after contributing to 22 goals last season.
That sort of output is nothing like what he has managed since sealing his Ibrox switch.
A positive debut against Viktoria Plzen hasn’t been followed by many more decent performances, and he is now a bit-part player under Danny Rohl.
It feels as if Antman is facing an uncertain future at Rangers, and now we have assessed what we know about his contract in Govan.
🚨 RANGERS TRANSFER UPDATE 🚨
The latest breaking news on signings, departures, and Danny Röhl’s primary targets.
What is Oliver Antman’s contract situation at Rangers?
The forward completed two starts during the international break with Finland, but failed to score or assist.
That isn’t unusual as his four-year career with his country has been about as patchy as his spell with the Gers at this stage.
| Year | Appearances | Goals | Assists |
| 2026 | 10 | 1 | 2 |
| 2025 | 1 | 1 | 1 |
| 2024 | 15 | 4 | 1 |
| 2022 | 3 | 2 | 0 |
Things certainly need to change for the summer signing, otherwise he risks being forced out after just 12 months in G51.
It won’t necessarily be easy for him to secure a favourable exit, as he is under contract until 2029 following his £3.5million summer move from Go Ahead Eagles.
The Fin is reported to be on a weekly wage of around £14,000, equating to a yearly salary in the region of £720,000 at Ibrox.
That isn’t spare change for the Gers right now, so if his performances don’t improve, it could make for an interesting summer.
Considering Antman was poor for Finland against Cape Verde, continuing his dreadful form this season, leaving even bigger questions surrounding his future.
When could Antman leave Rangers?
There is still a chance that things could turn around for the attacker, but that just doesn’t look likely at this current stage.
With the 4-4-2 being favoured by Rohl, the available positions for Antman to feature in have become increasingly limited.
An imminent summer exit could benefit all parties, but that would likely require Rangers to take a hit on the £3.5m they paid last summer.
It isn’t an ideal situation for anyone, so the decision over his future will likely be discussed at length once the Scottish Premiership season comes to an end.
