Encrusted on the frosted Finnish soil, Oliver Antman sprouted to life on the 15th of August 2001. With 24 years under his belt, he now finds himself toiling around the right flank for the Rangers. Towering at 6ft tall (that's 1.85m for the metrically inclined), Antman impressively controls his 11st 6lb (or 73kg in tins of baked beans) as he dons the number 18 jersey. Antman also flirted with international glory, having enamoured himself enough to the Finnish national team.
The chaps over at Transfermarkt reckon his market value teeters around the €5.50m mark. Generously assuming they know their stuff, we're talking about £4.7m.
Our Oliver had his humble beginnings at IF Gnistan in the Veikkausliiga, Finland. A £45k move to FC Nordsjaelland in Denmark saw him kick off his professional career in earnest. He was fresh-faced and green but managed to tick off four appearances and a single goal in his debut season. He found his footing over the following years, amassing a decent summary of 101 appearances and 13 goals during his Danish expedition.
At some point in January 2023, Oliver thought he'd try his luck at FC Groningen in the Eredivisie, courtesy of a loan. He added 11 appearances and a couple of goals to his growing portfolio during his brief Dutch sojourn. His holiday from Nordsjaelland ended as quickly as it began, returning to his Danish abode in June 2023.
In August 2024, Antman exchanged his Danish jersey for the Dutch of Go Ahead Eagles, this time laying out £1.3m in the process. Here he managed a haul of six goals from his 32 games. A good change of scenery, if you ask me.
Finally, he relocated north to Scotland in August 2025, leaving his Dutch nest for Rangers for a whopping £3m. Currently, he is a relative newcomer, only slotting seven appearances so far. But he has been a busy chap, appearing in competitions such as the League Cup, World Cup Qualifiers Europe, Euro Qualifiers, Champions League Qualifiers, and Europa League as well as the Nations League. All told, not a bad haul for our Finnish friend!
