But, as Kevin Holt took a heavy touch and prepared to launch the ball forward Tillman pinched the ball and rounded keeper Jamie Sneddon before poking home.
The goal sparked outrage among the Thitsle players who were furious with Tillman for his actions as the Championship side looked to give the ball back to Rangers.
Players from both sides rushed into a rammy in the Thistle box with confusion around Ibrox.
Then, Beale appeared to instruct his players to allow Partick Thistle to score in an act of sportsmanship following the hugely controversial Tillman goal.
Scott Tiffoney took the ball from kick-off and was allowed to jog towards the Rangers goal and then poke into the net past Allan McGregor.
