The kid can play alright. As a matter of fact, Rangers might just have a truly exceptional burgeoning talent on their hands in the shape of Malik Tillman.
Put it this way, if Ross Wilson can land the American youngster on a permanent deal this summer for a fee anywhere close to the region of £5m, then the local Polizie ought to be plastering mug shots of the Ibrox club’s sporting director on every lamppost in Munich.
At the age of 20, Tillman is the definition of a steal. The boy has so much natural ability that he’s bordering on the freakish. But just because he can play it doesn’t necessarily follow that he should play when Michael Beale takes his team across Glasgow’s divide on Saturday morning for a match which simply must be won if the Londoner is to cling onto any hope of dethroning Celtic at the first attempt.
