Old rivalries reignited: CONFIRMED lineups for Rangers v Tottenham match

Thursday's Europa League action is set to light up with tantalising fixtures across the continent, including Ajax v Lazio and Viktoria Plzen v Manchester United. Yet all eyes in Scotland will turn to Ibrox, where Rangers host Tottenham in a match loaded with historical and personal stakes.

Rangers enter the contest in fine form, unbeaten in all competitions over recent weeks. Their resilience and consistency stand in stark contrast to Tottenham's struggles, as Ange Postecoglou's men have managed just one win in their last five matches. That victory, however, came against Manchester City, offering Spurs a glimmer of hope ahead of this vital European test.

Adding to the intrigue, Postecoglou's history with Rangers' fiercest rivals, Celtic, adds an extra layer of tension. The former Celtic manager's return to Scotland—this time in charge of Tottenham—is sure to stoke emotions among the Ibrox faithful, creating an electric atmosphere for Thursday’s clash.

Rangers confirmed lineup: Butland (GK); Tavernier, Souttar, Propper, Jefte; Raskin, Bajrami; Cerny, Diomande, Yilmaz; Igamane.

Tottenham Hotspur confirmed lineup: Forster (GK); Pedro Porro, Dragusin, Gray, Udogie; Maddison, Bentacur, Bissouma; Johnson, Werner, Son.
