Rangers Strike Deal to Sign “Exceptional” Talent as Martin Demands More
Glasgow Rangers have reportedly reached an agreement to bring a highly-rated player to Ibrox, in a major development shared by Sky Sports journalist Anthony Joseph.
Russell Martin Frustrated After Motherwell Draw
Rangers opened their Scottish Premiership campaign on a frustrating note, drawing 1-1 with Motherwell after conceding a late equalizer. Manager Russell Martin didn’t hold back in his post-match comments, criticizing his players’ mentality and calling for a shift in attitude.
“Some of them need to drop their ego. I’ll take responsibility for tactics, but today wasn’t about that — it was a mentality issue, and honestly, we got more than we deserved.
We need to figure out who’s fully committed and who isn’t. And no, playing in Europe isn’t an excuse. At this club, European football is expected. We’ll have midweek games often, and we need to handle them far better than we did today.”
With the transfer window still open, it seems Martin is aiming to strengthen the squad further — and now, one incoming move appears to be nearly finalized.
Oliver Antman Deal Agreed
According to Joseph on X (formerly Twitter), Rangers have agreed a £3 million deal in principle to sign Oliver Antman from Dutch side Go Ahead Eagles.
This potential signing comes at a crucial time, especially after Saturday’s performance exposed the need for more quality in the attacking third. Antman, a Finnish international, could be exactly what the squad needs.
Former Dutch international Ibrahim Afellay has praised Antman in the past, saying:
“He’s going to be a brilliant transfer — so intelligent, technically gifted, and sharp in his movements. A truly great player. If I were AZ Alkmaar, I’d sign him without hesitation.”
At just 23 years old, Antman still has plenty of room to grow, and his ability to play effectively on both wings makes him an ideal fit for Martin’s system. His stats also back up the hype — with 16 assists in 36 games last season and 7 goals in 22 appearances for Finland, he brings creativity and end-product.
If the deal is finalized, it could prove to be one of Rangers’ most exciting additions of the summer.
