Andy Walker casts Rangers sportsmanship into doubt as Partick Thistle showing 'wouldn't have happened if they were losing'

Honest Andy Walker says there's "not a chance" he'd have given Partick Thistle a goal back if he was in Michael Beale's shoes.

And the former Celtic striker believes Rangers wouldn't have done it if they were losing the Scottish Cup tie at the time. Beale ordered his players to let Thistle score unopposed after Malik Tillman controversially took the ball from Kevin Holt as he went to give it back to Rangers following an injury stoppage.

Tillman briefly put the home side ahead leading to the bizarre sight of Scott Tiffoney waltzing up the pitch to put the ball beyond an initially reluctant Allan McGregor. Beale was applauded for the show of sportsmanship with opposing number Ian McCall leaving his technical area to shake Beale's hand but Walker reckons it would have been a different story if Tillman's controversial goal was an equaliser.
