    Probably worth noting that Rangers face Celtic in their League Cup Final on Sunday. Two big games for them in a few days.

    massive game for us too. Whilst our form is somewhat erratic, the Europa league is the only competition I can see us having any remote chance of winning. We need to take this competition seriously and get results, otherwise it’ll feel like ‘season over’ perhaps even earlier than normal. - not to mention that Ange desperately needs a result.

    Sorry to be a killjoy, but there are too many teams in the competition who are better than us. I can't see us winning it unless we invest strongly in January.

    Strongest possible side I guess for tomorrow (and with half an eye on Sunday) - Forster, Porro, Udogie, Dragusin, Gray, Bissouma, Bentancur, Maddison, Werner, Solanke & Kulu. Looks like Gray may get a run in the side unfortunately at CB, hoped that the suspensions would see him as a 6 at St Marys but the injuries have put pay to that.

    Agree. This is a bigger game for Spurs than Rangers.

    Definitely.

    England vs Scotland.
    1 win in our last 7 games is abysmal and needs rectifying.
    Need to ensure we progress.
    Ange's old fierce rivals.

    Personally it will be awful if Spurs lose tomorrow. Because of recent results, Rangers fans I know and work with have got more and more confident the closer the game has got.

    I will get some serious stick if Spurs lose

    Yeah they’re confident Ange and Forster will do the business against Rangers. Although they will put the boot in if Spurs lose tonight <laugh>

    That’s what I said.

    Rangers domestically haven’t been great but their record in Europe over recent years isn’t bad, won’t be easy at all. Ange only won 1 game out of 4 at Ibrox when he was at Celtic too.

    I don’t disagree, but I fancy our chances against some of these teams much more than I do any domestic opponent in the FA cup, for example.

    Couldn't get a ticket in the Spurs end. Was offered one in the Rangers end but said no as I’ve watched Spurs in the wrong section before and it’s horrible

    You going?

    I really hope Big Ange is struck with some pragmatism and ditches the high line for this game.

    Oh, and Rangers are renowned for being quite physical so let's hope we don't pick up any further injuries tonight.
