Spurs have one just win in their last seven games and have lost back-to-back matches in the Premier League, but Postecoglou has fond memories of Glasgow having overseen a successful two-year spell in charge of Rangers’ bitter rivals Celtic.
Postecoglou enjoyed a fine record in the Old Firm, with Celtic winning six of their 11 matches against Rangers during his tenure. But his Tottenham reign is threatening to unravel after the defeats to Bournemouth and Chelsea, with last month’s 4-0 win at Man City fading from memory.
Both teams are in a good position to advance in Europe with Rangers eighth in the table following an impressive 4-1 win at Nice last time out. Philippe Clement’s side have found some form, with four wins in a row in all competitions, but the Belgian remains under pressure too ahead of Sunday’s League Cup final against Celtic.
Tottenham are ninth in the Europa League standings following a 2-2 draw at home to Roma last time out. Here’s everything you need to know.
