Michael Beale allows Partick Thistle free goal vs Rangers after Malik Tillman Ibrox drama

This is the moment Michael Beale allowed Partick Thistle a free hit leveller at Ibrox in the Scottish Cup.

Malik Tillman had fired Rangers ahead in controversial circumstances in a moment that left the visitors furious and sparked some wild scenes. Thistle planned to kick the ball back to the hosts but the USA international nipped in and raced through on goal before putting the ball into the net and putting the holders 2-1 up in the tie.

It was a moment of real controversy with the referee awarding the goal. But Ibrox boss Beale intervened and ordered his side to allow the Scottish Championship side to race through from kick-off unchallenged and level the scoring in quite incredible scenes. It was a game that had a bit of everything and this was another one of those big moments. VAR had a big part to play in this game with the Jags awarded a penalty in the first period in what the pundits branded a 'mind boggling' decision while Rangers got one of their own in the second half but James Tavernier was denied by Jamie Sneddon.
