Tottenham are in the midst of a defensive injury nightmare as they take on Rangers in the Europa League tonight.

Ange Postecoglou admitted that Spurs’ current injury woes were the worst of his entire managerial career as the former Celtic boss heads to Ibrox on Thursday again missing first-choice centre-backs Micky van de Ven and Cristian Romero with new muscle problems.

Radu Dragusin and Archie Gray, 18, deputise in central defence in Glasgow this evening, with Postecoglou admitting he will likely have to “get creative” in the next six matches.

Yves Bissouma and Rodrigo Bentancur start in midfielder, with James Maddison filling the third spot in midfield after starting on the bench for the 4-3 defeat at home to Chelsea on Sunday.

Teenager Will Lankshear is in on bench, with Heung-min Son leading the as Dominic Solanke gets a rest, while Timo Werner starts on the left. Brennan Johnson is fine to feature after illness.

Ben Davies, Wilson Odobert, Richarlison (all hamstring), Guglielmo Vicario (foot) and Mikey Moore (illness) are also sidelined, while Djed Spence and Sergio Reguilon are not in Tottenham’s Europa League squad.
