Connor Goldson in early Rangers return boost for Michael Beale as boss makes Tillman transfer plea

Connor Goldson could be back for Rangers ' Premiership return against Hibs - a month ahead of schedule.

New boss Michael Beale has revealed the 29-year-old will start training again this week ahead of Thursday night’s clash at Ibrox. Goldson has been out of action since October with a thigh injury and wasn’t expected to recover until the New Year. But after yesterday’s 3-0 friendly win over Bayer Leverkusen, Beale said Goldson is in contention to face the Hibees.

The Gers gaffer also admitted post-match that he wants Rangers’ board to stump up around £5 million to buy Malik Tillman, who is currently on loan from Bayern Munich. The Ibrox club have an exclusive option on the American playmaker and Beale likened him to Michael Ballack after he netted a double against Leverkusen. He wants Tillman to stay long-term and insists he has no plans to sell Glen Kamara after he was also given a start yesterday in Govan. The Finn has been linked with a move to French side Nantes but Beale says he’s too good for them.
