Former Rangers loanee Malik Tillman did not want a permanent transfer to Ibrox following his return to Bayern Munich.
That is according to pundit Stephen McGinn who reckons the playmaker was central to the collapse of a return to the Scottish Premiership from the Bundesliga side - despite the Light Blues holding a £5.8million option to buy in the loan agreement. Rangers had agreed to insert a clause into loan deal last season which allowed the German giants holding an option to buy him back for £9million should they trigger the permanent deal.
However, the agreement was scrapped by Bayern leading to the the Ibrox coffers being boosted by £1million in compensation and a percentage of any future sale - with speculation that the USA international could make a move to the English Premier League this summer instead. Tillman's season was brought to an abrupt end through injury, and he returned to his parent club.
