Antonio Conte has named a familiar starting XI for Tottenham's third pre-season friendly of the summer as they take on Ranges at Ibrox Stadium.
Spurs are back in action in Glasgow following their return from their pre-season tour to South Korea and their matches against Team K-League and Sevilla. Now they take on Scottish giants Rangers for the first time since 2004 with plenty of returning faces in Conte's squad.
Harry Kane and Son Heung-min start up front with Dejan Kulusevski in a Tottenham that resembles the one the club ended last season with.
Yves Bissouma and Fraser Forster, who had to return from Seoul later than the rest of the team after testing positive for Covid early in the tour, have travelled with the squad are on the bench for the first time as is Ivan Perisic. Conte said last week that he expected to hand the 33-year-old Croatian his first minutes in a Tottenham shirt against the Glaswegian outfit.

Spurs' most recent signings Djed Spence and Clement Lenglet have made the trip to Glasgow and are also among the substitutes, hoping to make their friendly debut for the club. Joe Rodon also returns to the squad and is on the bench following his illness.
Six Spurs players have remained back at Hotspur Way and did not travel with the squad to Scotland.
Ben Davies misses out with the ankle injury picked up in Korea that could make him a doubt for the Premier League opener against Southampton, while football.london understands that Oliver Skipp has also missed out on the trip to Scotland with a minor injury, not associated with the pelvic problem that ended his season prematurely last time around.
The quartet who were left behind from the Korea tour - Tanguy Ndombele, Giovani Lo Celso, Sergio Reguilon and Harry Winks - have all remained behind in England once again as the quartet seek moves away from the club.
Here is the Spurs team and substitutes to face Rangers:
Lloris; Romero, Dier, Sanchez; Royal, Hojbjerg, Bentancur, Sessegnon; Kulusevski, Kane, Son. Subs: Forster, Austin, Spence, Doherty, Tanganga, Rodon, Lenglet, Perisic, Sarr, Bissouma, Gil, Lucas, Richarlison.
