Former Celtic boss Ange Postecoglou's Rangers will receive a lively reception as his Tottenham side look for a win at Ibrox.

Tottenham have only one win in their last seven matches, and both teams enter this match with 10 points in the Europa League table.

Here's how the teams rank.

Rangers team news

Hamza Ighamani was the star of Rangers' win in France last time out and he leads the line once again while captain James Tavernier returns to the starting line-up.

Rangers have scored 12 goals this Europa League season already, so will test Spurs' fragile backline.

Rangers XI: Jack Butland, Ridvan Yilmaz, Robin Propper, John Soutar, James Tavernier, Nedim Bajrami, Nicola Raskin, Gifty, Mehmet Diomandi, Vaclav Cerny, Hamza Eghamani.

Tottenham team news

Tottenham's defensive concerns mean the versatile Archie Gray should play at centre-back while captain Son or Timo Werner will get the chance to play as a central striker.

Fraser Forster – another with Celtic links – is in goal again.

Tottenham XI: Fraser Forster, Destiny Udoji, Radu Dragosin, Archie Gray, Pedro Porro, Yves Bissouma, Rodrigo Bentancur, Timo Werner, James Maddison, Brennan Johnson, Son Heung-min.
