The deal to bring Malik Tillman to Rangers was weeks in the making, according to sporting director Ross Wilson.
The midfielder has made the move to Ibrox on a season-long loan deal, with the option to buy. The 20-year-old is Gio van Bronckhorst 's fifth signing of the summer as the Light Blues continue their transfer business after a slow start to the window. He is the second recruit making his way to Govan from the Bundesliga after Rabbi Matondo left Schalke to become newbie number four earlier this week.
But Tillman's move was not something that came about quickly, with the Light Blues instead working on the deal for a 'number of weeks'. He was branded one of the hottest prospects in German football, with a number of other clubs reportedly tabling offers. However, the starlet decided a move to Glasgow was the best fit for him.
