Rangers let Partick Thistle walk through entire team and score after controversial goal

Scottish giants Rangers allowed opponents Partick Thistle to score directly from kick-off at Ibrox after Malik Tillman had bagged a goal for the hosts in controversial circumstances.

With the scoreline at 1-1, Rangers kicked the ball out to allow a stricken player to receive treatment. However, once play resumed, Tillman intervened before the visitors had the chance to kick the ball back. The goalscorer was actually the one who had gone down with a knock, which prompted Michael Beale's side to boot the ball out of play.

A throw on was taken by Partick, but their skipper Kevin Holt misscontrolled the ball and Tillman saw that as his chance to pounce. He capitalised on Holt's loose touch and controversially put Gers in front, but could barely wheel away in celebration before he was surrounded by furious opponents.
