Rangers winger Oliver Antman says he is “going in the right direction” as he backed up scoring his first goal for the club against Kilmarnock with a fine performance in the demolition of Queen’s Park.

The Finland international initially struggled after a summer move from Go Ahead Eagles in the Netherlands, before spending two months out injured.

But the 24-year-old added his first Rangers goal and an assist as a substitute against Kilmarnock, and laid on another goal and was heavily involved as Danny Rohl’s side eased into the Scottish Cup quarter-finals

“I try to give a lot of energy and get something going on in the game,” Antman told BBC Scotland.

“I still feel I’m still not quite where I can be. Coming back from an injury and all that. But it’s going in the right direction in terms of goals and assists. So I’m feeling good.”

Antman says going from the Eredivisie to the Scottish Premiership has also taken a period of adjustment, and the influence of Rohl has helped him improve.

“It’s a big difference,” Antman said of Scottish football.

“It’s a compact game and quite physical so there is some adaptation to that and I think I’m finally getting there.

“I’m just enjoying this moment. It’s also different playing now compared to before my injury because we are doing really good at the moment so it’s easier to get in the team and do well.

“I think he’s [Rohl] done a great job. We have some great players and the depth in the team is really good and the confidence in the team is also great and we have this belief we can win every single game ahead of us.”

Asked about ending the season with two trophies at Rangers, Antman said: “That’s the plan. With this squad we are more than capable of doing that.”
