Tottenham snatched a draw in their Uefa Europa League meeting with Rangers, which does little to ease the pressure on under-fire boss Ange Postecoglou.

The Scottish side took the lead through Hamza Igamane just after half-time and held it until the 75th minute, when Dejan Kulusevski kept his cool to make it 1-1.

Rangers had the ball in the back of the net again near the end, but it was ruled out for offside.
