Tottenham began their preparations in South Korea with a 6-3 victory against K-League XI. In their second game, they were held 1-1 by Sevilla.
Results in pre-season are nothing to boast about but Rangers won both their friendlies in July. They beat Blackpool 2-1, overcame Premier League side West Ham’s challenge 3-1 and now seek a victory against Tottenham to conclude pre-season with their unbeaten run intact.

Tottenham squad & team news
Antonio Conte will be hoping to get a good look at all his new signings in the games against Rangers and Roma before the Premier League season opener against Southampton.
Spurs will be without Ben Davies who suffered an ankle injury against Sevilla and has not trained since. New signing Clement Lenglet is likely to replace Davies in the starting lineup against Rangers.
Among their six new signings, Yves Bissouma and Fraser Forster were ruled out of the team’s Korea tour due to positive COVID tests and had to fly back to London.
Richarlison started both pre-season games and linked up with Harry Kane and Heung-min Son against Sevilla.
Ivan Perisic and Djed Spence, however, are yet to make their first appearance for the club and could be seen in action in some capacity against Rangers.
Possible Tottenham XI: Lloris; Dier, Sanchez, Romero; Emerson, Bentancur, Hojbjerg, Perisic; Richarlison, Kane, Son.
