00:00This is Alan Patullo at Ibrox Stadium for the Scotsman newspaper, just been covering
00:08the pre-match press conference with Andrew Post De Coghlu on Spurs managers return to
00:16Scotland and return to Ibrox for tomorrow night's Europa League clash with Rangers.
00:22Intriguing night ahead.
00:24He was entertaining, he was fairly friendly, fairly happy to be back I think.
00:33He was relishing the reception he was going to get from Rangers fans, but he did say also
00:40that he does like a bit of love too, he's not completely without feelings.
00:45So yeah, it's going to be a hot night for him and his team.
00:52A lot of history surrounding this fixture, or at least a lot of history surrounding
00:57English v Scottish fixtures, battles of Britain we of course know them as, although Rangers
01:03and Spurs have not met competitively for 62 years, 62 years today in fact, since a Jimmy
01:11Reeves inspired Spurs won here at Ibrox in front of 80,000 people in the European Cup
01:17Winners' Cup.
01:19Interesting to see what happens tomorrow, Philippe Clement was in earlier as well, press
01:23conference, rowing back slightly on comments he made after the Ross County game when he
01:29said that Rangers are operating on a different financial plane to Spurs and also controversially
01:39Celtic.
01:40Some interpreted it as him getting his excuses in early, although today he was a bit more
01:48bullish and said that any team can beat another team on their night and obviously he hopes
01:54that will be the case tomorrow night for Rangers who come into this game in a bit of better
01:59form and have a particularly arduous few days ahead with the Spurs and then Celtic at hand
02:09in the League Cup Final.
02:11Keep logged in to Scotsman.com, I'm going to write a match preview, I'll be online later
02:18and that report will be online tomorrow night as well, including some video content.
