Malik Tillman to Rangers transfer gets shot in the arm from his inner circle as Ibrox love proves hard to give up

The brother of Malik Tillman has dropped a shock hint the Bayern Munich star may return to Glasgow next season.

It comes after the Bayern Munich ace spent the season at Rangers and was hugely impressive until a hamstring injury picked up in the Scottish Cup semi-final defeat to Celtic ended his season and his loan spell. Since then, there have been conflicting reports about his future and the intricacies of the agreement between Bayern Munich and Rangers.

Rangers triggered the option to sign him permanently for £5 million, but the Bundesliga champions cancelled that which entitled the Ibrox club to significant compensation which reportedly included a £1 million fee and future add-ons. Tillman has been linked with a move to the English Premier League with Brentford and Brighton interested, but Rangers remain keen on landing the USA international.

And Tillman's older brother Timothy, who now plays for Los Angeles FC and was on Bayern's books with Malik, revealed no decision has been made yet on his younger sibling's future in an interview in Germany.

He said: "I don't know what the future holds for Malik. But I will say he really likes it in Glasgow and with Rangers. During the Christmas break, I went to Glasgow for a nice break with our mother at Malik's place. We had a great time. The three of us have a very close family bond. In my life, there is nothing more important than Malik and my mother. Malik is due to come to Los Angeles to visit me soon too."
