Tottenham Hotspur had half-time substitute Dejan Kulusevski to thank for leaving Glasgow with a point after Thursday night’s 1-1 draw with Rangers in the Europa League.
Ange Postecoglou has come under pressure in recent weeks amid a poor run of results this season and fan unrest, and this marks a fifth consecutive game without a win in all competitions.
Spurs enjoyed most of the ball but Rangers took the lead through Hamza Igamane inside the penalty area early in the second half. The Scottish Premiership side were also guilty of missing other big chances and will consider this a missed opportunity.
The English visitors actually beat their xG (0.87), pulling back level when Kulusevski struck low from the edge of the box with 15 minutes remaining.
The two teams remain level on points with an identical record (three wins, two draws, one loss) after six out of eight matches in the league stage of the competition. Rangers sit eighth in the table, in the bottom of the last 16 automatic places, marginally ahead of Spurs on goal difference.
