Relieved Michael Beale insists Malik Tillman deserves no stick for his controversial goal that led to his side gifting Partick Thistle an equaliser - and is adamant it was simply a "misunderstanding."
Beale's side edged out a narrow Scottish Cup win over the Championship side in a tie that had it all. Thistle led through a controversial first half penalty and after Antonio Colak had equalised, Gers took the lead in controversial style through Tillman, who robbed Kevin Holt of possession as he attempted to give Rangers the ball back after an injury stoppage.
Beale then ordered his team to let their opponents equalise and Scott Tiffoney took the ball up the park and did just that. But it was the home team who had the last laugh as an own-goal from Connor McAvoy eventually put the defending champions in the hat for the last eight.
