Speaking after the Motherwell game, a modest Malik Tillman shifted the focus onto the Rangers team but admitted the wonderstrike earlier the match delivered a much-needed confidence boost.
“It is nice to help the team to get the win, the team always comes first,” said Tillman [Sky Sports].
“The last few weeks were a bit tough, we didn’t win in the Champions League but yeah I think it’s an extreme boost for me we’ve got to keep looking forward and hope we win the next few games as well.”
