Malik Tillman rates his Rangers transfer chances '50/50' as Bayern Munich star gets candid over permanent return

Malik Tillman has revealed his chances of remaining at Rangers next season are 50/50.

The American midfielder has been a rare glimmer of light for Michael Beale this season after picking up the PFA Scotland Young Player of the Year award last night. Tillman, who is on loan from German giants Bayern Munich, is set to leave Ibrox at the end of the month. Gers boss Beale revealed earlier this month that his squad is in need of a massive overhaul this summer with a number of first team regulars set for the exit door.

Alfredo Morelos, Ryan Kent, Allan McGregor, Scott Arfield, Filip Helander, Steven Davies and Ryan Jack are all out of contract at the end of the campaign. Beale revealed after Rangers' 3-0 win over Celtic on Saturday that Jack is close to signing a new deal, while Morelos and McGregor are definitely set for the exit door. Rangers have an exclusive option to buy Tillman in the summer from Bayern, however the £5m price tag may put the Light Blues off with other areas needing strengthened.

Speaking to Sky Sports Tillman revealed he is going to speak to Beale this week, however he is yet to make his mind up. He added: "I had hoped for a better ending but it's quite common in football to get injuries. I'm just quite unlucky to be one of them. I think I had a great time here but it might not be the end so we will see what's going to happen in the summer.

"It's 50/50. It's up to Rangers, it's up to Bayern and up to me so it's completely open. I'm going to speak to Michael Beale in the coming days and see what he's saying and what Bayern are saying and then I will decide."
