Tottenham Hotspur are heading to Glasgow, Scotland for a UEFA Europa League clash on Thursday night at Rangers. It’s a match-up of two sides who are smack dab in the middle of the UEL table. Spurs come in with a slew of injuries, both long-term and short-term.
That will affect the team selection of manager Ange Postecoglu, who will no doubt need to do some squad rotation here, in spite of it all.
