Playing as a striker, Antman managed two shots, while also creating one chance and completing one successful dribble.It was a solid attacking display against a side that will be competing in the World Cup finals in the summer.If he can keep this up for Finland’s next game against Cape Verde, Rohl will have to consider giving him more minutes, or perhaps even starting him when the international break ends.For the final games of the season, form is everything; therefore, if Antman is proving to be a real threat, this could prove to be the difference between lifting the Scottish Premiership title.Does Antman have a future at Rangers?Previously, Football Insider revealed that Rangers would not sell Antman in the winter window despite his lack of minutes.However, with the Gers linked with plenty of attackers ahead of the summer transfer window, Antman could be pushed further down the pecking order if the club gets their targets.Therefore, the next couple of months could be vital for the winger if he is to prove to Rohl that he should be a long-term member of the squad.If not, a departure could easily happen in the summer if he does not prove to be a consistent and effective asset.
