Thu Dec 12 22:23:14 UTC 2024: ## Rangers to Face Tottenham Hotspur in Crucial Europa League Clash

**Glasgow, Scotland** – Rangers Football Club will host Tottenham Hotspur at Ibrox Stadium on December 13th, 2024, in a pivotal UEFA Europa League Group Stage match. Both teams currently sit mid-table with 10 points each from five games, creating a high-stakes encounter. Rangers, boosted by a recent win against Ross County in the Scottish Premiership and their Europa League victory over Nice, will be looking to capitalize on home advantage. However, they face a Tottenham side coming off a Premier League loss to Chelsea and a Europa League draw with AS Roma.

Several key players will be absent for both sides. Rangers will be without Neresho Kasenwirjo, Oscar Cortés, Rabbi Matondo, and Tom Lawrence due to injury. Meanwhile, Tottenham will be missing Brennan Johnson, Cristian Romero, Guglielmo Vicario, Micky van de Ven, Mikey Moore, Richarlison, and Wilson Odobert, with Ben Davies a doubtful starter.

Rangers’ key player to watch will be striker, Cyriel Dessers, who has scored 12 goals and provided 4 assists in 24 appearances this season. His aerial prowess is expected to be a significant factor. Tottenham will be relying on Heung-min Son, who has 5 goals and 4 assists in 16 games this season, although he scored fewer goals last season.

Despite the absences, Tottenham is considered the slight favourite. Khel Now predicts a 2-1 victory for the visiting side. The match kicks off at 1:30 PM IST and will be televised in India on Sony LIV and the Sony Sports Network.
