Rangers Glasgow take on the visitors Tottenham in the round 6 match of UEFA Europa League group stage. The match will be played on Thursday, December 12th at Ibrox Stadium (Glasgow).
Rangers are steady but unspectacular. The “Light Blues” have crafted a remarkable comeback story. After falling to the amateur levels following their financial collapse, this historic club climbed its way back to the top. Under Steven Gerrard, they finally captured a long-awaited league title. However, after Gerrard returned to England, Rangers have consistently found themselves stuck in second place. Last season, they faced Champions League qualification but had mixed fortunes. After equalizing in an away leg against Dynamo Kyiv, Rangers were the better team in the home leg until Vítor received a second yellow card in the 50th minute. Reduced to 10 men, they conceded twice late on and lost. However, they’ve performed better in the Europa League this season, securing wins over Malmö, Steaua Bucharest, and Nice. These successes, however, have been interspersed with a heavy loss to Lyon and a draw against Olympiacos.

Tottenham have been striving to reclaim their place in the top four, which they had secured during Mauricio Pochettino’s tenure. Following a disappointing 2022/2023 season, the club has shown progress under Ange Postecoglou. Even after selling star striker Harry Kane to Bayern Munich, Tottenham has improved significantly. However, their efforts fell just short last season, with Aston Villa snatching the fourth spot, leaving Spurs in fifth and relegating them to the Europa League. This year, Tottenham has continued to prioritize the Premier League while strengthening their squad with the high-profile signing of Dominic Solanke. They also eliminated Manchester City from the League Cup, signaling their competitive edge. In the Europa League, they began with three straight wins over Qarabag, Ferencváros, and AZ Alkmaar. However, they followed this with a 2-3 loss to Galatasaray in Istanbul and a disappointing draw against an out-of-form Roma.
The only prior meeting between these teams was a friendly match two years ago, where Spurs claimed a 2-1 victory at Ibrox. Tottenham enters as favorites, but their recent performances have been far from convincing. Rangers, meanwhile, are having a solid European season and could capitalize on playing at home. Expect the Scottish side to avoid defeat in this match.
Prediction for the match: Rangers Glasgow not to lose (1X).
