Rangers will look to edge one step closer to the last 16 of the Europa League as they welcome under-pressure former Celtic boss Ange Postecoglou and his Tottenham Hotspur team to Ibrox on Thursday night.
Scheduled to kick-off at 8pm, the home side find themselves in a strong position in the Europa League table, and currently occupy eighth position after winning three of their opening five games in the competition.

The pair have made positive contributions in the last few domestic games, but are ruled out of the game due to not being included in Rangers’ Europa League squad. Philippe Clement has other injuries concerns ahead of the game too, though his opposite number Postecoglou could be without eight first-team players for the game.
