GLASGOW:
Tottenham Hotspur’s Dejan Kulusevski cancelled out Hamza Igamane’s early second-half opener for Rangers in a thrilling 1-1 Europa League draw at Ibrox stadium on Thursday.

After a first half where the hosts looked the more threatening side, Igamane finally broke the deadlock and sent home fans into raptures with a first-time effort after a fine cross from James Tavernier two minutes after the break.

As Rangers pushed hard to extend their lead, Kulusevski grabbed an equaliser for the visitors, striking low into the far corner and past keeper Jack Butland in the 75th minute.

Cyriel Dessers almost found the winner for Rangers in the 85th minute but goalkeeper Fraser Forster saved his shot in a remarkable performance for the London side.

The stalemate leaves both sides on 11 points but with Rangers one place ahead of Spurs in eighth on goal difference.
