Rangers set to make profit on Antman - gossip

What the report says

BBC Sport Football’s latest Scottish transfer gossip roundup says Rangers have accepted a £4.5m offer from Anderlecht for Finland winger Oliver Antman, citing the Scottish Sun. The report says the proposed move would leave the Ibrox club with a profit of about £1m on the player. The same item links former Rangers loanee Vaclav Cerny with a possible return as one of the names being considered to replace Antman.

The roundup also notes a managerial disciplinary development at Rangers. Citing Sky Sports, BBC Sport says manager Derek McInnes is expected to be in the dugout for Friday’s Scottish Premiership opener against Dundee United despite receiving a four-match touchline suspension from the Scottish FA, because the club is appealing the sanction.

On Celtic, BBC Sport cites the Richmond and Twickenham Times in reporting that Brentford have rejected a permanent offer for defender Benjamin Arthur, who spent last season on loan at Parkhead. Another Celtic-linked player, Haissem Hassan, will only leave Real Oviedo on terms acceptable to the Spanish club, according to sporting director David Fernandez as relayed by the Daily Record.

The roundup includes several other transfer notes: Rangers are said to retain interest in Coventry City winger Jahnoah Markelo and Brighton’s Amario Cozier-Duberry; Kilmarnock are reportedly nearing a deal for former Rangers defender Johnly Yfeko; Dundee United midfielder Julius Eskesen has interest from Esbjerg fB; and former Rangers goalkeeper Alfie Halliwell is on trial at Derby County. These items remain attributed to other outlets within BBC Sport’s gossip format rather than confirmed club announcements.
