Barry Ferguson believes Michael Beale has a 'hell of a player' on his hands at Rangers if he can unlock Malik Tillman's full potential.
The new Rangers boss has already publicly expressed his desire to retain the Bayern Munich loanee beyond his summer loan. The USA international joined at the start for the season with the Light Blues holding an exclusive option to make it a permanent arrangement. Former skipper and club hero Fergie is a massive fan highlighting his great technique, physical presence and ability in the air as key attributes of his game.
The Rangers legend was also impressed by the early signs of Beale's influence in the comfortable friendly win over Bayer Leverkusen at Ibrox and he can't wait to see it put into competitive action against Hibs at Ibrox as the Premiership action resumes following the World Cup shutdown. Ferguson says it is a 'vital' 90 minutes with a marker needing set.
