The ‘Tillman Header Challenge’ is now a thing at Rangers

Another reminder that pro athletes are not like the rest of us

Malik Tillman’s dramatic game-winning header in the Champions League this week has already become part of Rangers folklore.

For evidence, look no further than the club’s “Tillman Header Challenge,” which was set up for fans to try outside of Ibrox prior to Saturday’s match against St. Johnstone.

Tillman rose up above Union SG goalkeeper Anthony Moris to head home the winner for Rangers on Tuesday, giving the Scottish side a dramatic 3-2 win that sent them through to the final round of Champions League qualifying.

Rangers set up a cardboard cutout of Tillman and a ball at the exact height of the U.S. national team attacker’s leap, giving Rangers fans the chance to try to match their player’s feat.

The result, for most fans, was more evidence that professional athletes are not like the rest of us.
