The games keep coming, the points keep coming and the footballers keep losing.

Here’s hoping this isn’t the case when Tottenham Hotspur visit Rangers in their next Europa League game. It’s a return to familiar territory for Ange Postecoglou, having coached Rangers’ arch-rivals Celtic before moving to the Premier League.

This means Ange won’t exactly receive the warmest of welcomes when he returns to Ibrox; But that will be the least of his worries as he tries to bring together a depleted force and mount something resembling a cohesive defense consisting of a teenager, the equipment man and a man from the pub down the street (probably) .

My hopes for this game?

No more injuries. Please.

COYS!

Adjust thread rules

The match thread rules are the same as always. All visitors who come here for the first time are warmly welcome! We’re glad you’re here! Wipe your feet, mind the gap, and be sure to check out the other pages of this excellent site. However, while you’re here, we have a few rules and regulations:

• Absolutely no links to illegal streams. They are evil and get us into trouble. Violators will be warned or banned.
• We have rules against “relentless negativity.” Nobody likes a negative Nancy. Don’t be knee-jerk and post outlandish or hurtful things just because you’re frustrated.
• In this sense, direct insults to players or match officials are not permitted. It’s okay to say “Wow, that was a really bad call,” but it’s NOT okay to excessively berate said officer over a call you didn’t like.
• Treat other people in the match thread the way you would want someone else to treat your grandmother. Be nice. This is a community of fans, not an unmoderated message board.
• NO SPIDERS!
• Although we don’t have a policy against profanity, please try to keep the naughty words at bay. In addition, statements that are sexist, racist, transphobic or homophobic in nature will be immediately deleted and you will be blocked immediately. This is an open, supportive community.

Have fun and COYS!
