Malik Tillman in Rangers 'best team' claim as he brands Celtic game 'biggest of year' and demands win

Malik Tillman believes Rangers are the best team in Scotland and they can defeat Celtic if they reach their full potential.

The USA international has been one of the shining lights at Ibrox this season following a summer transfer from Bayern Munich on a season-long loan. The Light Blues have the option to make the deal permanent in the summer with boss Michael Beale already expressing a desire to see that move agreed.

The 20-year-old - who grabbed his fifth goal of the campaign in all competitions against Motherwell last time out - knows Rangers must perform much better than the previous meeting with Celtic this season in order to get a victory. He believes Beale and Co can grab all three points in front of a packed out Ibrox if they reach the level he knows they are capable of as he branded the game 'the biggest of the year'. Rangers know they must win in order to cut Celtic's lead at the top of the Premiership down to six points. Defeat, and Ange Postecoglou and his defending champions will move 12 points clear and become clear favourites to go on and make it back-to-back league triumphs.
