There were a few positive points to withdraw from the narrow victory that Glasgow Rangers won on their trips in the Scottish Première last weekend.
The Light Blues won its first match in the League season, after four draws and a defeat in its first five games, and Oliver Antman recorded its first goal in the league.
As indicated in the clip above, the Finnish international did well to connect the ball in a dangerous area to install James Tavernier for the opening goal against Livingston.
Unfortunately, the contributions of the objectives for the attackers of the Rangers were rare in the first time this season, because the wide men of Russell Martin failed to offer a lot of quality.
How the wingers of the rangers played in the first
Antman’s assistance for Tavernier’s goal on Sunday was only the second goal contribution provided by a Rangers winger in six championship games so far in the 2025/26 campaign, who is an overwhelming act in the way they played as a collective.

As you can see in the table above, Findlay Curtis, who scored against St Mirren, is the only other player to have delivered a goal or a decisive pass from a large position for the Gers this season.
Martin’s wide players have, simply, not done enough in the last third of the Prime Minister, which will have to change if the Gers wants to chain more victories to put their campaign on the right track.
While the wingers currently of the club struggle in front of the goal, a winger sent on loan by the Rangers currently surpasses them.
The Loree Rangers who surpass Oliver Antman
Ross McCausland was sent on loan to Aris Limassol on a loan of a season during the summer transfer window, and the northern Ireland international impressed in Cyprus.
The graduate of the Rangers Academy has delivered three goals and a decisive pass in four championship games for Aris to date, which means that he has more contributions to the league (four) league than each combined Gers winger (two) this season, by Sofascore.
McCausland, who scored seven goals and provided seven assists in 66 games for the Rangers (TransferMarkt), only started in the first time for the Ibrox giants in the 2024/25 campaign, including a right match which saw him reject against Aberdeen.
With hindsight, the Gers may regret that he has not had more opportunities in his natural position, as an law enlter, given what he has achieved in such a short time in Cyprus.
Journalist Scott McBurns revealed that ISI was about to trigger their obligation to sign him permanently in January, while adding that he “attracts major European interests” because of his form for his loan club.
The Rangers are expected to receive six -digit fees for the Northern Ireland striker, which means that they will pick up in less than a million for him. Although this is a conjecture purely, the fact that there is “a major European interest” for the attacker suggests that Iri could return it for an instant profit in January or next summer.
This is why the Light Blues will regret making McCausland abandonment in summer, or at least for the costs of less than 1 million pounds sterling that they agreed with Aris, because it has outlined the wingers of the current rangers and could move to another European team next year.
The northern Ireland international may not have lit the world during his stay in the first Ibrox team, but he still looks like a better option than Martin has at his disposal.
