Rangers played Spurs yesterday
New Glasgow Rangers manager Mark Warburton brought the Scottish side down to Tottenham to play a behind closed doors friendly against our Development Squad. The game was three sessions of 30 minutes giving time for all to get a game.
Mauricio Pochettino was very happy with the work that Warburton did with young prospect Alex Pritchard last season at Brentford and wants to send him further players to develop. Harry Winks has signed a new contract at Tottenham and he is one player Warburton wants to take on a season-long loan deal.
The game afforded time for Warburton to discuss other players with right-back Ryan Fredericks name being mentioned. When you find someone who is good with youngsters then it makes sense to keep using them. While Rangers are in the second tier of Scottish football, the crowds are big as are the expectations. Their history demands they win and get promotion back to the top-flight and that pressure may help develop Winks.
For Fredericks it would be a strange move for me having played at Middlesborough and made it to a Championship Play-off Final at Wembley. It would rather suggest he has no future at Tottenham being 23 in October.
For those of you desperate for the score Spurs U-21's won 3-2. Our previous senior games against Rangers recall some to mind some famous Tottenham names.
