Rangers star Malik Tillman won his race to be fit to face off against Celtic in the Viaplay Cup final - but it wasn't a vintage performance from the Bayern Munich loanee.
Tillman was a major doubt heading into the Hampden showdown having been hampered by a calf and hamstring going into the clash against Ange Postecoglou's cup holders. John Lundstram was also a major doubt going into the game, but the midfield duo were both drafted into the starting line-up ahead of Todd Cantwell and Nicolas Raskin for the derby blockbuster at the national stadium.
However, after some heavy tackles in the opening exchanges it became clear that the 20-year-old was not 100 per cent, and Beale's gamble to give the playmaker the nod ahead of his January signing didn't pay off. The Norwich City recruit came on after 65 minutes for Tillman as he struggled to make a meaningful impact on the game.
