Malik Tillman's heart 'wasn't in' Rangers transfer as compensation deal hailed as 'good business'

Malik Tillman's heart wasn't in a move to Rangers and that's why it has worked out as good business to land compensation.

That's the verdict of Stephen McGinn, who discussed the latest with the USA international. Giovanni van Bronckhorst swooped for the Bayern Munich man on loan last summer with the Ibrox club holding an exclusive option to make the deal permanent. However, the Bundesliga giants have moved the goalposts amid interest from other sides but that at least means compensation heading for Govan.

The German outfit will pay Rangers £1million plus 10 per cent of any eventual transfer fee this summer reported to be on top. Losing out on the player may well come as a blow to Michael Beale but for McGinn, he believes it has worked out well and questioned whether he witnessed enough from him in the big games against Celtic or cup finals that would justify shelling out the fee agreed at the time.
