Let us know in either the Discuss tab for subscribers, or with an email: livebloguk@theathletic. com Advertisement Getty Images As for the Tottenham Hotspur team taking on Rangers at Ibrox here’s the XI named by Ange Postecoglou: Next up, the sides’ substitute lists. Getty Images Cue the official teams from Ibrox. Here is Philippe Clement’s Rangers XI to take on Tottenham in Glasgow tonight: Both benches are on the way shortly too. Getty Images The half-time whistle has sounded in the eight early matches and you might not be surprised to hear that Manchester United are struggling against inferior opposition. They are locked in a goalless draw away to Viktoria Plzen. Elsewhere, AZ Alkmaar and PAOK are going nicely, as are Roma. Getty Images We are just minutes away from the official team sheets being confirmed in Glasgow. We’ll bring you those XIs — and analysis of them — as soon as we get them. Stay tuned. Getty Images Hello and welcome again to our live coverage of matchday six from this season’s Europa League — and what a game we have in prospect at Ibrox. It’s Rangers against Tottenham, Scotland vs England, former Celtic boss Ange Postecoglou against Celtic’s nemesis. There’s so much to anticipate ahead of kick-off. There is loads for you to catch-up on below and we will have plenty more for you from here until kick-off, with our reporters at the game and contributors watching on. So don’t go anywhere. We’ve got you covered from here. Advertisement Getty Images Asked if the hostile reception he will receive will fire him up tonight, Postecoglou gave a great answer. "I don't know if it brings out more of me. I mean, I'm like anyone else, I like a bit of love every now and then, mate, " he said. "But I do enjoy that. I always kind of reflect and, you know, we've all lived it is that once you experience football in empty stadiums, you realise how meaningless it is. "I felt through that whole period, that Covid period, it was meaningless. So I would win games, as much as you go it could be hostile tomorrow, but yeah that's what we love about the game. That's what brings it to life. "Ultimately, it is a game evokes passions and emotions. Sometimes that's not always positive. Like every human being you'd love it to be positive, but it's not gonna happen. You definitely want that as opposed to playing a game in somewhere sterile where you don't have that. " Getty Images Unsurprisingly, Postecoglou faced a few questions about his relationship with Glasgow coming into today's game. "I'm looking forward to it. I had a great time up there in the two years I was there [at Celtic], " the Tottenham boss told Sky Sports. "Fair to say, Ibrox can be fairly intense and I'm sure we'll feel that. "But it's a great stadium to play football in. The atmosphere, European nights. Even when I was there, they did awfully well in Europe - the first year I was there they got to the Europa League final. "So you know how European nights, irrespective of their league form, they really rise for, so it's a good challenge for us. " Getty Images Ange Postecoglou will not be well received at all by the home supporters inside Ibrox this evening. The Australian spent the 2021-22 and 22-23 seasons as manager of Celtic, arch rivals of Rangers. Postecoglou was very successful too as he earned the Spurs job after winning the Scottish Premiership in both of those seasons, as well as the domestic treble in the second of the two campaigns. The Rangers fans have been taking great pleasure in watching him struggle at Tottenham in recent weeks. .. Getty Images We saw Chelsea win 3-1 in Kazakhstan in the Europa Conference League a little earlier and now it is time for the Europa League to take centre stage. The eight early matches kicked off a few minutes ago, including Manchester United's trip to the Czech Republic where they face Viktoria Plzen. The 4-3 loss against Chelsea, as galling as it was, was compounded by more injuries. Centre-backs Cristian Romero and Micky van de Ven, after returning from injury, were both subbed off. Brennan Johnson came off early in the second half because he “didn’t feel well”, according to Postecoglou. Goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario is also out for months with a fractured ankle. Their squad looks thin, and the Rangers match this evening kicks off a run of six games in 18 days across three competitions. So, as The Athletic's Jay Harris outlines below, things will likely get worse before they get better. GO FURTHER The really bad news for Tottenham: Things will get worse before they get better Advertisement Talk about a thriller. Seven goals, two penalties, two potential red-card challenges, a brilliant atmosphere, and all the animosity of a London derby with plenty of history. Tottenham were beaten 4-3 at home against rivals Chelsea on Sunday, but that scoreline doesn't tell the full story. The hosts raced into a two-goal lead inside 11 minutes after Marc Cucurella slipped twice and gave the ball to Tottenham, who profited ruthlessly. Jadon Sancho smashed a brilliant long-range shot in off the post, before two silly errors from the home side saw Cole Palmer convert two penalties, the second a cheeky Panenka, either side of an Enzo Fernandez finish. Home captain Son Heung-min reduced the deficit in the 96th minute after a smart short-corner routine but the hosts could not complete a dramatic comeback, the result helping Chelsea into second and leaving Tottenham in 11th. GO FURTHER Tottenham 3 Chelsea 4: Sancho shines as Spurs crumble and Maresca’s side go second in table In their last game, Rangers went to Ross County and recorded a comfortable 3-0 win. Hamza Igamane scored early, Danilo doubled the lead before half-time, and captain James Tavernier put the gloss on the win with a goal late on. Three points secured, which moved Philippe Clement's side into third, two points behind Scottish Premiership surprise package Aberdeen, but with a game in hand. League leaders Celtic are a distant 11 points ahead of their Glasgow rivals. After the 1-0 defeat against Bournemouth, Ange Postecoglou described gifting Dean Huijsen a free header from Marcus Tavernier’s inswinging corner as “madness”. “It is disappointing and not good enough, ” he said. “It is not a one-off. We have done that three or four times and paid a price for it. ” What is concerning is that Tottenham keep repeating the same mistakes. As The Athletic argues below, constantly losing in the same manner suggests that something is fundamentally not working. GO FURTHER Ange Postecoglou’s Tottenham Hotspur: A team making the same mistakes over and over again After Tottenham's last match on the road, a 1-0 loss at Bournemouth, Ange Postecoglou was embroiled in a terse exchange with fans in the away end following the final whistle. Discussing the incident, he said: “They are disappointed, rightly so. They gave me some direct feedback, which I guess is taken on board. I have no issue with it. I didn’t like what was being said because I’m a human being but you have to cop it. “I have been around long enough to know that when things don’t go well, you have to understand the frustration and disappointment. They are rightly disappointed tonight because we let a game of football get away from us but that’s okay. I’m okay with all that. ” Wonder what kind of things will be said by the travelling fans if Tottenham lose again tonight. .. We want to hear from you. Get in contact using the 'Discuss' tab at the top of the page, where you can chat to fans of both colours. We will feature some of your thoughts, questions, comments, and observations in this blog throughout the day. We look forward to hearing from you! Advertisement It was a classically and characteristically entertaining match for Tottenham in their most recent Europa League game. A topsy-turvy 2-2 draw against Italian side Roma in north London — covered live by The Athletic here — saw the hosts squander a lead on two separate occasions. Son Heung-min scored from the penalty spot five minutes in, Evan Ndicka equalised with a header from a set piece that caused chaos in the Tottenham box, Brennan Johnson fired in to restore the lead, and it stayed that way. .. At least until the 91st minute, when Mats Hummels tapped in at the far post to spark wild celebrations in the away end and deny Ange Postecoglou and Co the three points. Here's hoping for a similarly exciting contest today. GO FURTHER Tottenham 2 Roma 2: Late Hummels equaliser denies Spurs victory in wildly open Europa League clash – The Briefing Rangers' most recent match in continental competition was at the end of November. And it was a hell of a result, too. Travelling to the south-east corner of France to face Ligue 1's Nice, Rangers scored three times in a blistering 14-minute spell just before half-time to open up a commanding 3-0 lead via Vaclav Cerny, Mohamed Diomande, and Hamza Igamane. After the break, Igamane added a second for him and a fourth for the team, and though Badredine Bouanani scored late on, Rangers saw out an impressive 4-1 win at the Allianz Riviera. A really strong victory. Getty Images What makes ‘Angeball’ distinctive? In truth, any theory of Angeball as purely tactical or ideological can miss the point of what fuels it: Angeball is nothing if not relentlessly physical. Spurs stand or fall by their physical output. They tend to win when they run the most. They tend to lose when they run less. But poor results, an injury-hit squad, and often playing two matches a week with European commitments means Tottenham are struggling to maintain their incredibly intense physical apex. Is it reasonable to expect them to? The Athletic delves deeper below. GO FURTHER Angeball is relentlessly physical. Is it compatible with Spurs playing twice a week?
