Rangers and Tottenham agree glamour friendly at Ibrox as part of pre season plans

Rangers will host Tottenham Hotspur in a glamour pre season friendly game at Ibrox.

The Ibrox side look set to relinquish their Scottish Premiership crown but summer plans are underway to prepare for the 2022/23 campaign.

And that includes a a match against the North London outfit on July 23 in Glasgow to help them get up to speed for competitive action.

Rangers faced Tottenham’s bitter north London rivals Arsenal in a pre-season game at Ibrox at the start of last season as the sides battled out an entertaining 2-2 draw.

Spurs are currently locked in a battle for fourth place in the English Premier League with the Gunners as they chase a Champions League spot.

However, doubts have emerged over the future of boss Antonio Conte who reportedly offered his services to PSG with former Spurs gaffer Mauricio Pochettino heading in the opposite direction and returning to north London

The Italian has been involved in planning for the pre-season but the proposed Gers game is now confirmed.

Rangers faced a Tottenham XI in a friendly behind closed doors to help them prepare for the 2016 Scottish Cup final with Mark Warburton’s men winning 4-3 at Hotspur Way.

The sides have met 10 times in friendly games over the years, including a famous and feisty friendly in 1989 with Paul Gascoigne starring for the Londoners and Trevor Steven scoring the only goal for Gers.
