MALIK TILLMAN dedicated Rangers’ thrilling Champions League victory to the Ibrox crowd after firing Giovanni van Bronckhorst’s side into the play-off round.
Rangers recovered from their 2-0 defeat in Belgium last week to produce a remarkable comeback and move within one tie of a place in the group stages this term.
James Tavernier opened the scoring with a penalty late in the first half before Antonio Colak brought Rangers level in the tie with a header from close range.
It was Tillman who would emerge as the hero for Rangers as he towered above keeper Anthony Moris and nodded home a dramatic winner.
The American internationalist has made an positive impression since agreeing a loan switch from Bayern Munich and would savour the moment on a memorable night of European action.
Tillman said: “It was an amazing feeling. After the game last week we needed the fans to be with us and a big game from ourselves.
“I think we did pretty well and we have to thank the fans for pushing us every minute and every second.
“It was crazy and if you have these type of fans it is an amazing feeling to play in front of them. That was for them.
“It’s always nice to help the team by scoring. But it was a win for the team and not just for me and I have to thank my team-mates.
“We try to win every game and we have to focus on every game.
“It doesn’t matter who we are playing, we have to try and win them all.”
