Official Rangers partner shares Malik Tillman view of Michael Beale after Bayern Munich update
Malik Tillman does like both Rangers and Micheal Beale but isn’t interested in spending more time in the SPFL, according to Heart & Hand.
The chances of the American’s Ibrox return appear to have been ended in the past few days after a 18 June report from Kicker in Germany that Bayern Munich had cancelled the permanent option in his previous loan deal was followed two days later by Rangers Review‘s report that the Light Blues are set to earn at least £2million from the equation.
Amid claims that the 21-year-old didn’t want to come back to the club either way, it appears that is due to his view of league rather than an issue at Ibrox.
Responding to questions from Gers fans on Twitter Heart & Hand wrote: “He didn’t want to sign.
“He likes Michael Beale, likes club, just doesn’t want to play in SPFL. And to be honest can we really be surprised at that?”

If that is Tillman’s perspective then it would have been out of Beale and Rangers’ hands throughout, as they can’t control the standard of the league.
Bayern seem to think they can cash in on him this summer and that is now set to benefit the Light Blues so the situation could be far worse.
If there are options there for him to make another step up already after his first full season of sustained senior football then he would logically want to take one.
He is far from the finished article but he was a solid performer in Glasgow and his league award at the end of the campaign recognised that contribution.
Rangers will keep a close eye on him over the transfer window all the same because they have an interest in him getting a good move now that 10% of it apparently has their name on it.
Assuming he heads to the Premier League or somewhere similar then it ultimately should be an outcome that suits all sides.
