Oliver Antman Nears Move to RSC Anderlecht from Rangers

Oliver Antman is closing in on a move to RSC Anderlecht from Rangers, with Derek McInnes confirming on Wednesday that the Finnish winger has already travelled to Belgium to put the final touches on the deal.

“An agreement has been reached, and Oliver has travelled to finalise everything. I am quite sure that everything will go well for him,” McInnes told the Scottish media, drawing a line under a short and stuttering spell in Glasgow.

It is a rapid change of direction for a player who arrived at Ibrox with genuine buzz. Antman earned his move on the back of a sparkling 2024–25 season with Go Ahead Eagles, where he became one of the Eredivisie’s most inventive attackers. Six goals, a league‑high 16 assists, and four appearances in a triumphant KNVB Cup run turned the 24‑year‑old into one of Deventer’s headline acts and a coveted name on recruitment lists across Europe.

Rangers paid £3.5 million to bring him in, expecting the same fearless creativity to light up Scottish grounds. The numbers never quite followed. One goal and five assists in 28 appearances across all competitions tell the story of a player who never fully settled, never quite found the rhythm that had made him such a force in the Netherlands.

The move to Belgium now offers a reset. Anderlecht, prepared to spend just over five million euros on the Finland international, see value where Rangers could not fully unlock it. For Antman, Brussels represents a fresh dressing room, a new league, and another chance to prove that his season with Go Ahead Eagles was not a one‑off, but the standard.
