Rangers warned Tottenham could 'destroy' them at Ibrox

All eyes are on Ibrox this evening (Thursday, December 12) as Rangers host Tottenham Hotspur in the Europa League

The fixture also sees a return to Glasgow for ex-Celtic boss Ange Postecoglou. 

Postecoglou succeeded Neil Lennon in June 2021 and experienced two trophy-laden years at the reigning Scottish Premiership champions. 

Lennon has spent his time working within football punditry either side of managerial spells at Omonia Nicosia and Rapid Bucharest since then, and reckons Spurs will pose Rangers a huge threat. That much so he believes they could even destroy Philippe Clement's team should they find top gear. 

Rangers and Spurs both sit on 10 points from their opening five matches in the newly-formed league phase going into this much-anticipated clash. 

Speaking to BoyleSports, Lennon said: "When Spurs click on the counter-attack, they can destroy any team. That will be the danger for Rangers.

"They have had injury problems and their form has been very inconsistent, so it will be interesting to see the team that Ange Postecoglou puts out.

"When you watch Ange’s teams, you are going to get entertainment there. There is that unpredictability about him because he likes to play a certain way.

"I think it's fascinating at times to watch. I really enjoy the attacking philosophy and although Spurs fans enjoy it, they do want to see some consistency.

"Last season he didn't play European football so they were able to start the season in great form. I just think that with both European games and domestic games it can take a toll."
