Rangers v Tottenham – Police update emerges ahead of Ibrox clash
Rangers take on Tottenham in the Europa League clash and police barriers will be in place ahead of the game on Thursday, confirms the SLO.
Ange Postecoglou’s side make the trip to Glasgow to take on Gers at Ibrox on 12 December.
Philippe Clement will be hoping to capitalise on the poor form of the North London outfit and look to cause an upset.
Via X, the Gers SLO wrote: “Police barriers will be placed at the away corner before the match from 6:15pm. Smartcards are not active for this fixture. All supporters have received e-tickets/QR codes within their confirmation emails. For those on CCCS, e-tickets were sent on Monday 9th December.”
Rangers must be confident of taking the game to Tottenham
Gers will likely aim to exploit Tottenham’s recent dip in form by focusing on a strategy that combines defensive solidity with opportunistic counter-attacks, given the high line Postecoglou deploys.
Clement might instruct his team to maintain a disciplined backline to counter Tottenham’s offensive threats while looking for quick transitions when they regain possession.
By pressing high and winning the ball in Tottenham’s half, Rangers could capitalise on any defensive errors from an unsettled Spurs side.
Additionally, leveraging the home advantage at Ibrox, with its passionate crowd, could unsettle the visitors.
The Ibrox outfit might also target Tottenham’s recent defensive vulnerabilities, pushing for set-piece opportunities where physicality and aerial ability could be decisive.
Historically, this Gers side has been much better in Europe as compared to domestically and that will play on the minds of the players and fans as well.
