Rangers enter round six of the Europa League group phase with a home tie against Tottenham Hotspur. The hosts are in good form in this competition and occupy a spot in the top eight.

Holding their ground would see them secure an automatic spot in the finals next year, avoiding the playoffs. A home win over Spurs would go some way toward securing their future in the competition, but that’s easier said than done against top-class opposition.

Former Celtic boss Ange Postecoglou takes his under-fire Tottenham side from London to Glasgow, looking to leapfrog their hosts in the pecking order.

The big guns from North London enter in ninth but are level on points with Philippe Clement’s team and know the value of victory in Scotland, especially at this stage of the competition. A fascinating 90 minutes awaits, with this clash played before a capacity crowd and the TNT Sports cameras.

Rangers vs Tottenham Odds

Rangers continued to improve under Clement with an impressive 3-0 win over Ross County in Dingwall on Sunday. Visiting the highlands in December is always a challenging task, but in-form attacker Hamza Igamane broke the deadlock with a fierce strike, and Brazilian striker Danilo and captain James Tavernier backed up his early goal. The level of opponent skyrockets on Thursday, but you can stick with the locals at 23/10 with Betfred.

Tottenham arrive in Glasgow on the back of a sketchy run of form. The Londoners are without a win in their last two in this competition and have been far from reliable in the Premier League. Some in England are already calling for the head of Postecoglou, but the Australian boasts an excellent record against Thursday’s opponents.

A decisive win in Scotland could help get their season back on track, and Spurs are 21/20 to secure all three points. The draw is available at 11/4 if you expect these teams to cancel each other out.

Both teams to score

Which team will win and secure the three points and bragging rights for their country? Will it be an early Christmas present for Scottish football, or will the English Premier League pull rank? It promises to be an exciting game in Glasgow with a few goals to cheer.

Our first bet on Rangers vs Tottenham is for both teams to find the net and ensure this match lives up to expectations and delivers excitement.

Backing both teams to score would’ve returned a profit when Rangers beat Nice 4-1 in France and drew 1-1 with Olympiakos in Greece last month. It was also the right approach in Tottenham’s 2-2 home draw with Roma and their 3-2 defeat to Galatasaray in Turkey.

Spurs have scored ten goals and conceded six while Gers have scored a dozen and also leaked six at the other end. Add both teams to score to your midweek accumulators.

Both score and Spurs win

Rangers have given fans some memorable European nights at Ibrox over the years and supporters packing the stadium on Thursday dream of another vital win in the club’s history. They’ve never beaten Spurs in two previous attempts, losing 5-2 and 3-2, but those results came in the Cup Winners Cup in 1962.

The hosts have impressed and appear to be finally moving in the right direction under Clement, but they face a Spurs side in desperate need of a win.

No one connected to the home dressing room will admit it, but Rangers have one eye on Sunday’s League Cup final against Celtic and that will feature in Clement’s selection. Back both teams to score and Tottenham to win, hoping this match is as entertaining as expected.
