Barry Ferguson has offered up a defence for Malik Tillman's headline-grabbing Rangers goal in the Scottish Cup.
With the fifth round tie at Ibrox stuck at 1-1 against Partick Thistle, the Bayern Munich loanee went down under a fiery Jags challenge. As the Championship side looked to return the ball to their hosts after the disruption, Tillman pressed the defence and scored.

Allan McGregor was the only one in the Rangers camp who look opposed to the decision and it's got the goalkeeper's former teammate laughing, who said: "I believe it was the right thing to do.
