Former Rangers hero Malik Tillman was hailed by PSV Eindhoven boss Peter Bosz after he made a spectacular first start for the club.

The on-loan Bayern Munich ace was a big player for Rangers last season, but the deal to make the Ibrox loan become permanent collapsed this summer after the German giants had a rethink about his future and sent him to the Eredivisie instead with Rangers' Champions League conquerors PSV instead.

Tillman, 21, made his first start for PSV in their 3-1 home win against FC Volendam where he netted his second goal for the club. And manager Bosz singled him out for praise.

He said: "I thought Malik was crazy tonight. His assist, his goal and the amount of passes he made were fantastic. We were dominant because of him.

"This is what I expect from him with and without the ball. We all saw his potential out there. The fans have been able to see what he is capable of and that is a lot.”

Tillman, who was dropped last month after missing training when he slept in, was delighted to get back in Bosz's good books.

He said: "I helped the team and I am very happy with that. It is a positive that we have been able to create this number of chances against a defensive-minded team.

"Now we play Sevilla in the Champions League and we need to win. I want to make an impact in that too."

Meanwhile, Kenny Miller has warned Rangers fans to be 'careful' what they wish for regarding Michael Beale's future.

The Englishman is on the brink of losing his job at Ibrox after a shocking 3-1 defeat at home to Aberdeen yesterday.

That result saw the Light Blues fall seven points behind Celtic in the Premiership. 

With three domestic losses already recorded so far this term, and an early exit from the Champions League thrown into the mix, fans have become incredibly unsettled with the team under Beale's stewardship.

While a large portion of them would like to see Beale removed from his position, Miller believes sacking a manager is not always the best solution. 

Instead, the former Gers striker has suggested Beale be afforded some more time to turn things around.
