Neil McCann in blistering Rangers TV verdict as he scolds Malik Tillman and tells Ryan Kent to cheer up

Former Rangers star Neil McCann sidestepped the chance to lavish praise on matchwinner Malik Tillman as he told the playmaker he must improve his application.

The Bayern Munich loanee was the toast of Ibrox after his winner over Hearts but he has still to convince the 48-year-old of his all round game - as the pundit doubled down on his previous fears over the USA international's body language. And McCann didn't miss Ryan Kent either as the man of the match was told to cheer up during his low key interview after the Englishman spearheaded a much-needed win for under-fire Gio Van Bronckhorst.

But the main target of McCann's frustration was Tillman who believes must match his talent with endeavour if he is to become a bonafide Ibrox star despite his vital strike which keeps Rangers seven points behind champions Celtic. Speaking to Rangers TV, McCann said: "His body language is poor, whether he is just a relaxed kid, I don't know but I just think it's as if he conserves his energy. His arms are hanging down. After he scores the goal, you would think it would lift him and energise him to go and do what he does going forward. But two or three times he takes it and turns back.
