Malik Tillman sparked uproar in today’s Scottish Cup tie at Ibrox.
The on loan Bayern Munich midfielder had already upset his opponents with a staged dive into the penalty box that was bought by referee David Munro and his assistant. Tavpen had his effort pushed away by the Thistle keeper.
In the 70th minute the homeside played the ball out the pitch to allow treatment for Tillman.
The Thistle throw-in was played to Kevin Holt, as he took a touch before preparing to play the ball back to his opponents Tillman pounced, raced in one on one to with the goalkeeper to put the ball in the net as players from both sides confronted each other in the six yard box.
Stop what you’re doing right now and watch this! ?
Malik Tillman gives Rangers the lead in controversial circumstances which infuriates the visitors ?
Michael Beale then steps in and orders his side to allow Partick Thistle to score ??#ScottishCup | @ScottishCup pic.twitter.com/iUOtLalNGO

After the anger had died down Thistle equalised straight from the restart with even Micky Beale embarrassed by the actions of his own player.
Thistle eventually went down to a 3-2 defeat but every player in the country knows that Tillman will do absolutely anything to give his team an advantage, even when it is cashing in on the sportsmanship of opponents.
The right thing to do. Unbelievable the majority of Rangers fans booing the Thistle player.

It wasn’t controversial to allow him to run through and score. Tillman a disgrace in the first instance.

Tillmans a CHEATING BASTARD, been fawning injury for Mths now & shown up today as the SCUMBAG we all knew he is!!
did beale shake hands with an official who disappeared down the tunnel the minute the game ended ? if so , who was he ? and why did he go to him straight away ? beale came across as a sportsman today , but no matter what they would never lose the game , he knew that penalties would save them and the 12th man was only covering himself for any controversies coming down the road when he can say i awarded a penalty against sevco !! cunning !!
Editor: A sportsman to cover up for the antics of one of his players- throughout the match.
I’d say well played to Beale for allowing Thistle to run through (that arsehole McGregor aside) and score if part of me didn’t suspect he’s grabbed an opportunity to maybe rehab his public image after his countless displays of utter twattery.
…or is that just me?
Listened on radio: must admit I didn’t think Beale would allow a free goal.
Fair play.
BENNY Miller on radio shortbread screaming that it was never a penalty to Thistle.
This muppet only picked up his P45 from Huddersfield Town on Thursday and he is back as a pundit 3 days later at the BBC,how the f**k does he and others do it.
Remember this tosser has been SACKED from every management post he has taken on,but then shows up at radio and TV stations to call out managers and their tactics for getting it wrong.
If he is the bawbag that got the job,just think who failed it.
The tribute act are so desperate for silverware at any and all costs that their own players are reverting to stealing a dead ball when opposition teams are about to do the fair thing and give the ball back to them ! A new form of cheating …
Tillman epitomises everything that is wrong with sevco and their klub kultyur: cheating scum whose fans think that such behaviour is acceptable.
Even Bealer was forced to act to avoid further embarrassment, but if he really means it then he should suspend this muppet for a couple of games to drive home the point.
Somehow I suspect that won’t happen.
Karma will have its way!
It will not fail. The Universe has laws.
