The most unarsed individual on the park- Ibrox fans turn on wonderboy Tillman

Earlier in the season he was the superstar in the making, the attacking midfielder to break the lines bringing goals to midfield and creating chances for others.

Then he went to Celtic Park, put in a performance on a par with Amad Diallo and suddenly some bears started to see through the myth of Malik Tillman.

When you are competing with John Lundstram, Glen Kamara, Ryan Jack and Steve Davis for a midfield place it is quite easy to look like a creative force.

Going into the Viaplay Cup Final in February hopes were high for the on loan Bayern Munich kid but again he went into hiding, repeating that when he returned to Celtic Park at the start of this month.

Micky Beale has described the £5m option to buy as a no-brainer but with Todd Cantwell, Nico Raskin and Ianis Hagi at the club there are more pressing areas in need of transfer funds.

The week ahead will be full of criticism for Beale’s Pittodrie flops- if they lose to Celtic on Sunday this week’s criticism will be a picnic compared to what will follow.
