Rangers 0-0 Tottenham, 43 minutes

20:45 , Luke Baker

Very good by Igamane as he reveals brillian footwork to slide previous one, then two defenders. I believe there have been two nutmegs in there. The transfer ends with Tavernier clipping a cross to the again put up but it surely’s a contact too lengthy and Spurs can clear.

Gers strive once more as Bajrami pulls the ball again from the appropriate by-line however there’s nobody there.

Rangers 0-0 Tottenham, 42 minutes

One other Spurs nook, they go quick this time and Son whips the cross in to Grey who will get a contact however the ball slides harmlessly huge.

SAVE! Rangers 0-0 Tottenham, 39 minutes

20:42 , Luke Baker

Sensible save by Butland, who makes himself huge and denies Johnson from about six yards out, who turned a Werner cross that got here his method goalwards.

It seems Werner was offside as he was slipped in by Maddison however Butland certianly didn’t know that when he pulled off the point-blank cease.

Rangers 0-0 Tottenham, 38 minutes

20:40 , Luke Baker

That’s the second kick in a row from Butland that he’s tousled. After a slip, he performs a hospital go and Maddison is then fouled as he nicks the ball away. It’s a free-kick for Spurs 30 yards out, bang centre – powerful angle to a lot with.

The ball is dinked out to Johnson and Ridvan isn’t fast sufficient to cease the nook, he dithered and didn’t hoof the ball clear in time. Son whips within the nook and Bentancur flicks it on but it surely goes harmlessly by way of.

Rangers 0-0 Tottenham, 36 minutes

20:38 , Luke Baker

Balogun instantly concerned as he lunges to hook the ball away from a marauding Udogie. Nicely-timed by the substitute.

Rangers 0-0 Tottenham, 35 minutes

20:36 , Luke Baker

Unhealthy information for Rangers, particularly with a cup ultimate to return on the weekend. John Souttar goes down within the centre circle after enjoying a easy go and the medics come on, treating his left groin.

He hobbles off and can be changed by Leon Balogun on the coronary heart of the defence. Pretty much as good as Balogun is, that’s an actual blow for Rangers.

Rangers 0-0 Tottenham, 32 minutes

20:33 , Luke Baker

Cerny has appeared energetic down the appropriate and runs at Udogie once more. Then there’s an unforced error as Dragusin simply passes the ball out for a throw as he’s being closed down.

Spurs have edged the possession stakes however Rangers have appeared the extra threatening.

Rangers 0-0 Tottenham, 30 minutes

20:31 , Luke Baker

One other cross from Jefte, this yet another lofted, however Werner feels he has to place the ball behind for a nook. Cerny whips within the cross however Son hacks clear

CLOSE! Rangers 0-0 Tottenham, 26 minutes

20:29 , Luke Baker

Jefte concerned once more, on the different finish this time! He fizzes a shocking ball throughout the face of purpose that’s simply begging for a contact in on the again put up however Bajrami is millimetres away from getting there. Forster would have been crushed.

It appeared like Bajrami may get there if he’d thrown himself on the ball however didn’t. Why not?! Diomande then takes fly from distance however shoots properly over.

Phew – this recreation is a breathless one to this point! Unbelievably open – typical Spurs, I suppose

Rangers 0-0 Tottenham, 24 minutes

20:27 , Luke Baker

It’s Spurs’s flip to counter as Jefte offers the ball away with a unfastened go they usually come down the left earlier than Son lofts a crossfield go in direction of Johnson within the field. One way or the other Jefte will get again and will get a toe to th eball to nip it away from the Welshman – good restoration.

Rangers 0-0 Tottenham, 24 minutes

20:25 , Luke Baker

Pretty transfer from Rangers down the appropriate, Cerny feeds Bajrami and his cutback making an attempt to return the favour is juuuust lower out by Bentancur. Rangers come once more down the left and Jefte thumps a shot at purpose but it surely’s blocked and out for a nook, which Spurs defend properly.

Rangers 0-0 Tottenham, 21 minutes

20:22 , Luke Baker

Diomande inexplicably slaps at a deflected ball along with his hand and will get a deserved reserving. Which means he’ll miss the Manchester United match subsequent day out – poor decision-making within the second.

Rangers 0-0 Tottenham, 19 minutes

20:21 , Luke Baker

Spurs beginning to flip the screw as they arrange camp within the Rangers half, probing for a gap.

Tavernier does properly to chop out a ball by way of from Porro earlier than Rangers attempt to counter however Ridvan makes the flawed selection making an attempt to slide a reverse go to Cerny, moderately than selecting out Igamane.

Gers positively look harmful after they win the ball again and assault at tempo

Rangers 0-0 Tottenham, 15 minutes

20:18 , Luke Baker

Spurs seem to have weathered the preliminary Rangers storm, which was pretty robust. Now they arrive ahead themselves after Raskin has his pocket picked by Bissouma and Maddison has a shot from 20 yards, pretty central. It’s deflected excessive for a nook.

Propper then heads Maddison’s nook clear.

SAVE! Rangers 0-0 Tottenham, 10 minutes

20:13 , Luke Baker

That’s an honest cease by Fraser Forster ultimately. Rangers swiftly counter as Udogie is caught upfield and a beautiful reverse go frees Bajrami behind Dragusin and he lashes a shot at purpose that Forster ideas over.

A slighly flappy punch from Forster on the subsequent nook however Ridvan’s effort from exterior hte field is excessive, huge and never so good-looking. Rangers have been on high to this point

Rangers 0-0 Tottenham, 9 minutes

20:11 , Luke Baker

A spring within the Rangers step early on, as you may count on in entrance of their very own followers. Dragusin once more examined as he’s compelled to stretch to clear. Spurs may actually do with getting their foot on the ball and having a sustained spell of possession.

They do create an opportunity for Werner because the ball breaks to him on the left aspect of the field however his curled effort is properly over the bar. Sadly, Werner’s taking pictures boots abandoned him way back – there wasn’t a lot conviction in that shot.

Rangers 0-0 Tottenham, 6 minutes

20:08 , Luke Baker

Extra encouragement for Rangers down the left as Butland’s lengthy ball excessive offers Igamane one thing to chase and he will get forward of the Spurs defence earlier than Dragusin scrambles again to dam his shot. Seems Igamane was marginally offside however nonetheless a warning signal for the English aspect.

This second-string Tottenham defence can be examined tonight for certain.

Rangers 0-0 Tottenham, 3 minutes

20:05 , Luke Baker
