The Dutch club sold winger Oliver Antman this week to Rangers in a £4.4 million deal and he made an immediate impact as Russell Martin's side romped to a 3-0 first leg victory over Viktoria Plzen in the third qualifying round of the Champions League.

Celtic told to conduct transfer business like Rangers as Go Ahead Eagles director aims brutal swipe
Jan Willem van Dop hasn't been impressed with the Parkhead club's approach to signing Jakob Breum Go Ahead Eagles chief Jan Willem van Dop has aimed a dig at Celtic by telling them to conduct their business like Rangers. The Hoops are no further forward in their drawn-out pursuit of Jakob Breum after having three bids knocked back by the Dutch club. Gers, meanwhile, swiftly concluded the £4million deal for Oliver Antman in time to register the Finnish international for their Champions League third round squad. And the flying winger hit the ground running by contributing two assists as Russell Martin's side dismantled Viktoria Plzen 3-0 at Ibrox. Van Dop applauded Ibrox chiefs for getting the deal over the line but took a swipe at Parkhead powerbrokers for dragging their heels over Denmark Under-21 starlet Breum. In an interview with Algemeen Dagblad, he said: "There was some interest from Celtic for Jakob Breum, but we felt the gap was too wide. "Things moved very quickly around Oliver Antman and Glasgow Rangers. Celtic could have taken a leaf out of Rangers' book, haha."

Go Ahead Eagles receive Breum bid 'worth more than Celtic's'
The Parkhead club are attempting to sign the winger from Go Ahead Eagles but have already had three offers rejected. They started at £1.5 million before increasing that to £1.75m and then £3m, but were still rebuffed. The Dutch club want £6.5m and are a holding firm. The men from Glasgow's east end are not the only ones showing interest and PSV were previously linked. However, Go Ahead Eagles technical director Jan Willem van Dop has indicated that FC Twente have been in touch as well. Their technical manager Jan Streuer initially contacted about another player but added Breum to the conversation and submitted a proposal that was already worth more than Celtic's. Read more: Van Dop told Oosttribune: 'I spoke to Jan once this summer and he inquired about Joris Kramer. And then I very clearly indicated that we don't want to lose Joris. 'And that's what I like too. You can then fight at that moment. But Jan indicated in response to my explanation right away, 'Well, Willem we respect and are and done with that.' 'And then he had a second question and that was Jakob Breum. I say, 'Well, obviously that's something to talk about if the price is right.' 'And we didn't get out of that. What to me was the only positive of that was, that they offered at least already above the official offer that was ever made by Celtic. 'Because that was one and a half million. So his thinking was higher. 'I at least indicated that we did not go along with the bid that they made. And coincidentally this morning, obviously we still had the agent on the line who hopes that he will go that way. 'And we are, I think, really not the hardest club, but it has to fit. And if we don't come out of it financially better, we also have that that right, I think, to then say, 'Well, then it's not going to happen.''
